SACP Panel at AAR Online June Session
Our Society for Asian and Comparative Philosophy panel in American Academy of Religion convenes 6/23 Tuesday, 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM (online). The session, Social Political Idealization in Chinese Thought, brings Chinese political thought into direct conversation with the study of ethics. Pre-modern Chinese schools rarely held politics and ethics apart, treating the question of how to live a good life as inseparable from how a society should organize itself. The four papers take up that connection through comparative moral pedagogy, classical conceptions of political progress, syncretic accounts of the good life, and the democratization of political knowledge.
