Abstract: I discuss the way that the Chinese self could truly be said
to be relational and argue that this sense of relationality is
compatible with a significant form of moral autonomy
that is highly valued in Confucianism. It is in fact a kind
of autonomy free of questionable assumptions about the
exemption of human beings from the laws of nature.
