This Key Concepts pivot discusses the contemporary relevance of the
ancient Chinese concept of Tianxia or ‘All-Under-Heaven’ and
argues the case for a new global political philosophy.
‘All-under-heaven’ 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.” Promoting 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 ofpolitics.
