It is an intensive-discussion-oriented workshop focusing on the theme “Comparative Studies of Chinese Philosophy toward World Philosophy”, covering a range of related issues that are worth further in-depth exploration, including (but not limited to) these:

• How can comparative philosophy (as a general way of doing philosophy through cross-tradition engagement toward world philosophy) significantly contribute to creative studies of Chinese philosophy toward world philosophy?

• How can cross-tradition engaging approach play its substantial roles in philosophical interpretation of the classical Chinese texts?

• How can relevant approaches/resources of Chinese philosophy and of other philosophical traditions (understood broadly, distinguished either culturally, or by style, or through strategic orientation) constructively engage with and learn from each other and make joint contributions to the development of philosophy worldwide and of contemporary society?

• What constructive morals and lessons can be drawn in relevant connections from the previous studies?

• and so on …...
  
  Interested colleagues are welcome to participate in this workshop (as speakers and/or no-obligation discussants). If one is interested in presenting one’s (unpublished) research (at the level of being publishable) on the theme for critical discussion, please send an abstract (around 500 words, including references) to the coordinating team at <cpforumbj2023@hotmail.com> and <cpforumbj@outlook.com> by 20th July 2023; if the topic/content of one’s submission is rendered fitting the theme and relevant academic expectations, one will receive the notice for its presentation before 24th July 2023; one is expected to send a relatively detailed outline or its paper to the coordination team by 26th July 2023 (for the sake of the participants’ warming-up preview and of good critical discussion on scene).
