This project will argue that a Confucian relational conception of the self allows us to achieve a greater sociological understanding of populism and thus could inform public policies capable of tackling it. Many existing interpretations of populism take as a basic premise an atomistic, disembodied view of self-identity. My hypothesis is that a Confucian relational view of self-identity can better illuminate why community, place and dignity of work matter to populist voters. If this is true, then Confucianism can provide a novel explanation of why people vote for populists and inform a public policy strategy aimed at tackling populism.

本项目将论证儒家的自我关系概念可以让我们对民粹主义有更深的社会学理解，从而为能够应对民粹主义的公共政策提供信息。许多现有的民粹主义解释都以自我认同的原子论、非实体化观点为基本前提。我的假设是，儒家的自我认同关系观可以更好地阐明为什么社区，地方和工作的尊严对民粹主义选民很重要。如果这是真的，那么儒家思想可以提供一种新颖的解释，解释人们为什么投票给民粹主义者，并为旨在解决民粹主义的公共政策战略提供信息。
