Thread: Confucianism and Kant were governance theories first — solved governance is a new problem
jd_pressman · x · 2026-11-11
jdpressman argues nearly all moral philosophy, including eudaemonia, has been dominated by the question of governance: Confucianism is a theory of governance first and happiness second, and even Kant is fundamentally about how we can live together under laws. The idea that governance could be solved like water or electricity is foreign to the entire tradition.
