New ISCWP Website
The board of the The International Society for Comparative Studies of Chinese and Western Philosophy writes with news that they have established a new website:
The ISCWP’s new website has been established at <www.iscwponline.org> especially for the Society’s relevant info since mid 2023; though website-builder service etc. are at a reasonable cost, the new website goes with better resources and technical support; the previous (free) website of the ISCWP at <www.iscwp.org> is unable to be updated due to some technical reasons, although it is still available for the Society’s relevant info before 2023. Among others, for ISCWP Newsletters from volume 1 (January 2003 ) through volume 21 (January 2023), see the previous ISCWP website <iscwp.org>.

Summer Seminar in Asian Philosophy and Scholasticism: Peace, Inside and Out
Joint ATI-CSCS Summer Seminar in Asian Philosophy and Scholasticism:
Peace, Inside and Out
July 15-26th, 2024 • Hong Kong Baptist University
Webpage: https://rel.hkbu.edu.hk/activities/summer-school-2024
Speakers:
Dr. Jonathan Crowe, Bond University
Dr. May Sim, College of the Holy Cross
2024 Seminar Theme – Peace, Inside and Out: This seminar is intended to introduce scholars and graduate students to Confucian and medieval Latin (‘Scholastic’) perspectives on peace within individuals and in broader society, hoping to pave the way for fruitful philosophical dialogue between these important traditions by bringing together those working on projects in Asian or medieval philosophy, ethics, political philosophy, religion, and theology. Preference will be given to those students or scholars already working on issues associated with the theme of the seminar. Questions regarding the nature of peace, and what is required for its achievement, are central to the classical political tradition East and West. Those same questions deeply impact questions concerning what it is to live a good life, as explored differently in ethics and theology. The Confucian and medieval Latin tradition have extensively explored these themes together, as fundamentally inseparable: peace in society requires as a necessary, if not sufficient condition, peace within each heart. The role of education, especially moral or character education, is also critical for effecting the relevant changes to conscience required for peace to flourish. These perspectives have great value in the midst of growing tensions and conflict in the world today. This seminar will focus on shared themes or insights associated with peace within medieval Scholastic philosophy, as well as within Confucian philosophy, both in earlier forms (e.g., High Middle Ages, Qin dynasty Confucians) and in later developments of the tradition.
Axiomathes becomes Global Philoosphy
The journal Axiomathes has recently changed editors and broadened its scope to become Global Philosophy. The journal’s website says:
We are happy to announce Global Philosophy as the new name of our journal. Global philosophy is an ideal, to go beyond the private, sectarian, cultural and geographical limited discourses going on in current philosophy and open the conversation to all philosophers who are qualified, but somehow have been eliminiated from the discourse. Through online platforms and forums, democratic communication to reach this ideal has become easier to achieve than ever. The ideal of Global Philosophy has never been easier to become a reality for everyone in the community.
Our Editor in Chief, John Symons from Kansas University, US, is certainly one of the best scholars to gather an international and diverse editorial board to cover the goal that this journal has had in mind since the beginning. … Read more about the new scope in this editorial: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10516-023-09678-y

CFP for Panel on Trauma and Healing at 12th East-West Philosophers’ Conference (May 24-31, 2024)
Title of Proposed Panel: Orientation-Philosophical Explorations of Trauma and Disorientation
Organizers: Dr. Reinhard G. Mueller and Dr. Olga Faccani (on behalf of the Hodges Foundation for Philosophical Orientation)
Thomas Laqueur, writing in the London Review of Books in 2010, signaled the emergence of our age as one experienced as trauma by highlighting the verifiable surge in the term’s usage: “Having once been relatively obscure, it is now found everywhere: used in the New York Times fewer than 300 times between 1851 and 1960, it has appeared 11,000 times since.” As trauma’s omnipresence surges, not least through the Coronavirus pandemic and recent wars, the challenge arises: How do we orient ourselves in a rapidly changing world and to cascading waves of traumatic experiences? How do we cope with disorienting crises?
