Synopsis "Toward a Good Society: A Relational Lens (in English)"
In Toward a Good Society: A Relational Lens, authors Tian-jia Dong and Dongxiao Qin theorize a mutually empowering and growth-fostering society. The authors first demonstrate the feasibility of this society by grounding it in the framework of relational psychology. Departing from there, they travel along nine paths reconstructed from nine classic social science theories. In each chapter, they respectively reconstruct and find ways to move beyond Durkheimian structural-functionalism, de Tocqueville's communalism, Mead's symbolic interactionism, Freud's psychoanalytic perspective, Simmel's network theory, Smith's "invisible hand", Marx's class theory, Hobbes's contractarianism, and Weber's rational-legal formulation. This leads them to propose a new Golden Rule that is as simple as it is profound and foundational to what makes a good society.
