Highlighting Confucianism's philosophical development and Chinese historical experience with community organization, constitutionalism, education, and women's rights, de Bary argues that while the Confucian sense of personhood differs from Western concepts of the individual, it is not incompatible with human rights, but could, rather, enhance them.
