SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – "In Defense of Social Hierarchies in China" by Prof. Daniel Bell and Prof. Wang Pei\, University of Hong Kong\, Hong Kong
DESCRIPTION:Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/93780921652 \nPassword: 093949 \n  \nAbstract \nAny modern society needs social hierarchies. We know which ones are unjust — based on race\, sex\, and class — but which ones are just? Wang Pei and Daniel Bell will draw on their book Just Hierarchy (Princeton University Press\, 2022) to argue that morally justified hierarchies benefit not just those with power\, but also those on the bottom of social hierarchies. They will illustrate this argument by drawing on examples of social hierarchies in contemporary China\, from age-based hierarchies in the family to drinking banquets in academic settings and hierarchical relations between countries. The point is not to defend the status quo but to show how it can be improved by means of just hierarchies. Their talk will engage with such critics as Hans Georg Moeller and Lee Ting-mien. \n\nBio \nDaniel A. Bell (貝淡寧) is Professor\, Chair of Political Theory with the Faculty of Law at the University of Hong Kong. He served as Dean of the School of Political Science and Public Administration at Shandong University (Qingdao) from 2017 to 2022.   His books include The Dean of Shandong (2023)\,  Just Hierarchy (co-authored with Wang Pei\, 2020)\, The China Model (2015)\, The Spirit of Cities (co-authored with Avner de-Shalit\, 2012)\, China’s New Confucianism (2008)\, Beyond Liberal Democracy (2007)\, and East Meets West (2000)\, all published by Princeton University Press.   He is also the author of Communitarianism and Its Critics (Oxford University Press\, 1993).  He is founding editor of the Princeton-China series (Princeton University Press) which translates and publishes original and influential academic works from China. His works have been translated in 23 languages. He has been interviewed in English\, Chinese\, and French. In 2018\, he was awarded the Huilin Prize and was honored as a “Cultural Leader” by the World Economic Forum. \n\nWang Pei is an assistant professor at the School of Chinese\, the University of Hong Kong. She completed her PhD thesis on phenomenology at department of philosophy of Tsinghua University and was a joint PhD. student in Université Paris 1. She was a post-doctoral research fellow in Tsinghua Institute of Advanced Study in Humanities and Social Science. She is the co-author (with Daniel. A. Bell) of Just Hierarchy: Why Social Hierarchies Matter in China and the Rest of the World\, published by Princeton University Press in 2020.

SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL: MRI International Symposium 2024 - "Cultural Exchange between China and the West: Remembering Marco Polo"
DESCRIPTION:The travels of Marco Polo symbolise a rich tradition of cultural encounter between China and the West. On the 7th centenary of his death\, this Symposium celebrates Marco Polo’s legacy by investigating the multi-faceted cultural exchange that took place along the Silk Roads and maritime trade routes connecting China and the West from the 13th century to the present day. Throughout much of this time\, the city of Macao played a pivotal role in the story of mutual discovery that unfolded through the exchange of knowledge\, objects\, and insights in the domains of science\, religion\, education\, and the arts. Macao still bears the imprint of centuries of intense cultural engagement. In addition to talks and discussions highlighting the intertwined histories of China and the West negotiated through the exchange of cultural goods\, this Symposium provides an opportunity for a guided tour of Macao’s historical centre. It also includes a cultural event that reflects Macao’s intricate cultural identity and global significance.

SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – "Universal Love (jian’ai) and not Loving Robbers" by Prof. Yun Wu\, Shanghai Jiao Tong University\, China
DESCRIPTION:Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/93356482056 \nPassword: 042929 \n  \nAbstract \nThe claim “although robbers are people\, loving robbers is not loving people” in the Mohist Canons at first glance seems to contradict their doctrine of “jian’ai”\, which is supposed to be all-inclusive. This paper explains why it does not. On the interpretation I shall propose\, jian’ai is not merely proposed by the Mohists as a moral goal\, but also as a side-constraint—in the sense that its minimum requirement “not to harm the innocent” serves as a moral constraint set upon all actions\, including the endeavor to realize the moral goal jian’ai itself. This side-constraint makes sure that jian’ai in any case is not pursued at the cost of defeating itself. \nSince “not to harm the innocent” works as the side-constraint\, and robbers by definition in the Mohist texts are those who intentionally harm the innocent\, the claim of opposing robbers (more concretely in the text “not loving robbers” and “punishing robbers”)—their maxim and actions—can then be understood as an equivalent articulation of the side-constraint. It thus does not contradict jian’ai\, but rather sustains its logical consistency. \n  \nBio \nYun Wu received her Bachelor degree of Philosophy from Wuhan University\, and both her Master and Doctoral degrees of Philosophy from Tsinghua University in Beijing. She has joined Shanghai Jiao Tong University since 2012 and is now a professor at the Department of Philosophy. Her recent academic visiting experience includes one year at St. Antony’s College in Oxford (2021-2022)\, and one year at UC Berkeley’s Department of Philosophy (2016-2017). \nHer academic interests focus on moral and political philosophy\, Chinese philosophy and comparative philosophy. She has published several papers on Mohism in recent years\, with a critical reflection on ingrained and still popular views such as that Mohism is a form of consequentialism (or more particularly\, utilitarianism)\, that the Mohist idea of “jian’ai” equals to “love without distinctions”\, that the Mohist political theory promotes a kind of “despotism”\, and other views.
