International
Conference on Confucianism:
Retrospect and Prospect
* * * * *
Confucianism,
being one of the most ancient philosophical traditions in all of East
Asia, has been receiving increasing scholarly attention not only in
Asia but also in the West. The conference organisers hope to cover a
variety of topics to do with the historical resources, present issues
and future prospects (such as the relevance to globalization) of
Confucianism. By bringing together participants from both Asia and
North America, we aim to promote interaction between the scholars
working from a variety of intellectual perspectives and so enrich the
field.
