Sinopsis

This Key Concepts pivot discusses the contemporary relevance of the ancient Chinese concept of Tianxia or âÇÖAll-Under-HeavenâÇÖ and argues the case for a new global political philosophy. âÇÖAll-under-heavenâÇÖ is a conceptualization of the world as the composition of three realms: the physical, psychological and political, which places inclusivity and harmony at the heart of a global world view above other considerations, transcending the notion of nation state. In a highly interconnected and globalized world, the idea of Tianxia can offer a new 21st century vision of international relations and world order, based on a harmonized global organization defined by the 'all-inclusiveness principle.' áPromoting the ontology of co-existence and relational rationality hand in hand with rational risk aversion in a globalized world, this pivot makes the case that Tianxia could offer a new vision for contemporary world order, redefining the universality and legitimacy of politics.
