Roger Ames's Confucian Role Ethics: A Vocabulary, is an important contribution to an impressive, decades-long academic output of lasting value. A Confucian way of life, in my view, is a constant quest for self-improvement, and Roger is a wonderful model for other academics. Let me now turn to some questions about Roger's book in the hope that his answers will clarify some key issues.
