Update: Panels at the 2022 Eastern APA

The 2022 Eastern APA Conference will be taking place in early January, both in-person (on Jan. 5-7) and on-line (on Jan. 13-14 and Jan 18-19). The provisional program is available for download here. I have taken a read through and attempted to extract all the Chinese philosophy-related panels (plus those on Korean philosophy), which I paste below. If you notice any mistakes or omissions, please let me know!

Update as of Jan 2, 2022: these panels will now be fully on-line; two of the planned in-person Chinese philosophy panels have moved to on-line. The date and time of these two panels (in bold below) has now been set (see here), and I have edited the schedule accordingly. The two moved panels will now take place on Jan 18 and 19, respectively.

  1. Thanks for this post.
    I’d like to inform you of an on-line session on Moral Sentimentalism.
    I will make a presentation on Mengzi’s sentiment-based view of the practice of justice in comparison with Hume’s artificial justice. Also, I think that Dr. Chuang will take a comparative philosophical perspective to her topic as well.
