Cheng Chung-ying: "Confucianism in Present-Day China and Beyond: A Great Debate and A Critical Test"
The speaker will address the major positions and major issues in the reinstitution of Confucianism in present day China. It has been a slow process of development with a sudden "explosiveness" in more recent times. He describes and discusses Confucianism in present-day China as a political philosophy, an ethics, a philosophy of man, and a philosophy of culture as related to major religions. There are aspects of Confucianism as related to its modern fate and philosophical reconstrual or reconstruction in the three or four generations since May Fourth Movement, in 1919. The speaker has reason to believe that Confucianism will become a basic form of life in the future of global humanity or world community, and can protect us from any form of extremism, dogmatism, and egoism.
About the speaker: Professor Chung-ying Cheng obtained his Ph.D. in Philosophy from Harvard; he is a senior member in the Department of Philosophy at UHM, and a world-renowned Confucian Scholar and Chinese philosopher. Founder and Editor of the Journal of Chinese Philosophy, he is also the author of 30 books on various aspects of Chinese philosophy in both Chinese and English, including the recent book On New Awakening in this Age of Ours (Chinese).
