At Bryan Van Norden’s institgation, a few of us are going to gather at Vassar on June 8-9 to present introductory lectures on key figures in classical Chinese philosophy, and then discuss our approaches. This will be an ideal opportunity for colleagues who are not specialists in early Chinese thought (be they philosophers, sinologists, interested students, etc.) to get a concentrated introduction to these great thinkers and texts. In addition, we welcome any specialists who would like to join in the discussions, both formal and informal. There will also be a session near the end in which all are invited to discuss some recent secondary scholarship. Please see below for details.

I apologize if I am the only one who finds this fascinating! But I just learned that the Chinese edition of Human Rights and Chinese Thought, published a couple months ago by Renmin University Press as 《人权与中国思想：一种跨文化的探索》, is the subject of some reviews and excerpts on the “Reading Weekly 读药周刊” website.
