| Posted by: dsturgeon (Donald Sturgeon) | According to the website, the conference aims to address the following questions:
1. To what extent is it true that Chinese philosophers and Western philosophers engaging in debates relating to happiness are addressing the same topics?
2. How does the Western discussion of happiness most directly address distinctive leading ideas of the Chinese philosophical tradition, such as ritual, reverence, minimalism, or the primacy of relationships?
3. Can Chinese ideas help solve philosophical problems about the ethics of happiness that have troubled the West, and vice versa?
Invited speakers include:
Emeritus Professor Chad Hansen (HKU)
Professor Lee Yearley (Stanford)
Professor P. J. Ivanhoe (City U., HK)
Professor Michael Nylan (Berkeley)
Professor Jiyuan Yu (SUNY, Buffalo)
