Professors Eirik Harris (Hong Kong Baptist University) and Henrique Schneider (Nordakademie) are guest editing volume 8.2 of the Journal Culture and Dialogue (Brill).

The guest editors seek 7-10 papers of high quality on topics related to Chinese philosophy, particularly engaging with all different types of Confucianism. This can occur from a perspective rooted within Chinese philosophy as well as in a comparative approach. The guest editors seek to put together a diverse special issue covering Classical Confucianism as well as contemporary themes for an audience that includes non-specialists in Chinese philosophy.

The guest editors are especially looking for contributions on:

  • Virtues and the state of (Chinese) philosophy of virtues
  • Virtue politics and its limits
  • Virtue as an ideal vs. realistic approach in ethics, political theory, and international relations
  • The relationship between virtues and rituals
  • Philosophy of rituals: past, present, and future
  • Meritocracy and roles
  • The virtues and vices of meritocracy
  • Different versions of meritocracy in Chinese (and Confucian) philosophies
  • Contemporary issues in Confucianism
  • Contemporary philosophical criticisms of Confucianism

If you are interested in submitting, send you abstract, draft paper, or full paper until March 15th to Henrique Schneider (henri.schneider@protonmail.ch) and Eirik Harris (eiriklangharris@gmail.com). Once accepted, final versions of the papers will be due June 1st.
