An announcement on behalf of Robin Wang…
International Conference on De德（Virtue) in Chinese Philosophy
国际学术研讨会（2014，6月15－17 & 2015, 3月25－27）
In order to promote a deeper understanding of philosophy and culture among civilizations and encourage further professional and cultural exchanges between China and Europe we will hold the conference on virtues in Thessaloniki, Greece, and Venice, Italy.
为了加深对世界文明的理解和推动中国与欧洲的学术交流，我们将与2014年6月15－17在希腊亚里士多德大学，2015年3月25－27在意大利威尼斯大学共同举办首届国际中国德性学术研讨会。
Last Friday and Saturday we held the second Northeast Conference on Chinese Thought at Wesleyan. Lots of great ideas and interpretations were exchanged; you can seem some action shots that Bryan Van Norden took here. There was considerable enthusiasm for continuing this series of conferences, so keep an eye out for the information about the next one, to be held in the fall of either 2014 or 2015, depending on the availability of a host institution.
March 27-29, 2014 University of Alaska, Anchorage (UAA) Philosophy Department and UAA Ethics Center are jointly hosting a conference and convocation of undergraduates, graduate students and faculty. We will gather around the theme “Living Ethically in the Global World.” Intentionally the broad theme allows for diverse papers engaging ethics and topics requiring ethical analysis. Rogers Ames will offer the keynote address on Confucian Role Ethics.
We are particularly hopeful that there will be broad participation from students and faculty with interest and expertise in non-Western perspectives. We are eager to have participants from many countries and states.
The website for the 2013 Northeast Conference on Chinese Thought (NECCT) is available here. Please note that all are welcome to attend and participate in discussion. Anyone who would like to join us for meals is asked to preregister; details are on the website. Attendees coming from out of town will also find some information about lodging on the website as well.
I have just learned that in 2018, the World Congress of Philosophy will be held in Beijing, hosted by Peking University. Intriguing. If anyone has a report on the recently-completed WCP in Athens, I’m sure many readers would be interested!
I recently received an invitation to attend — as an observer — the following event. Alas, I won’t be able to get myself to Jakarta for it, but I thought that blog readers might be interested to know that there is such an event. I will paste a little information here, and I also attach this longer document with some further details. I do not believe it is open to the public.
The schedule and list of speakers/commentators has been set for the second Rutgers Workshop in Chinese Philosophy. It is still a ways in the future, but if you would like to attend, please contact Ruth Chang well in advance because space will be somewhat limited.
Huaiyu Wang, ISCP’s Liaison with the Central APA, passes on this information about panels they will sponsor:
I have just learned that the submission deadline for the 15th International Conference on Ethics Across the Curriculum, on “Conscience, Character, and Culture,” has been extended for two weeks. Please see this website for more details.
Next week the 18th International Conference of the ISCP will take place in Buffalo, New York; the extremely rich program is listed below. I am unfortunately not able to make it, though many blog regulars will be there; any comments from those in attendance would be most welcome!
