Can Confucianism Be “Progressive”? A Debate on Contemporary Confucian Political Philosophy
There will be a friendly debate on some of the ideas in my Contemporary Confucian Political Philosophy: Toward Progressive Confucianism book, held next week at Hong Kong University. Please come and join in the fun — though note that registration is required, just to keep track of numbers. The “critics” with whom I will be conversing are Joseph Chan, Fan Ruiping, and Sungmoon Kim. It will be held 16 April 2013 (Tuesday), 14:30 – 17:30. More information on the location and schedule, as well as on-line registration, is available here.
