SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – "Can family relationships in Ruist traditions be transformed? Reconsiderations of Ruist families from the perspective of the transformative dimension of culture" by Prof. Lauren F. Pfister\, Hong Kong Baptist University\, Hong Kong
DESCRIPTION:Microsoft Teams: https://go.um.edu.mo/7mnk1eav \n  \nAbstract \nIFamily relationships in Ruist traditions have been regularly linked to specific virtues that distinguish the younger from the elderly\, the female from the male\, and have often been employed in various historical periods for promoting strongly patriarchal forms of familial relationships. Some Ruist advocates have described these virtues and their related relationships in absolute terms and have declared their eternal validity.  Nevertheless\, there are a number of perspectives from within Ruist classical works that suggest that there are ways in which some of these relationships might be transformed. \n  \nBio \nLauren F. Pfister is an internationally recognized sinologist and comparative philosophy scholar.  He is a Professor Emeritus from the Religion and Philosophy Department of Hong Kong Baptist University\, and is currently the Rector of the Hephzibah Mountain Aster Academy\, a humanities-based cross-cultural research center located in Colorado\, USA.  Previously he had served as an Associate Editor of The Journal of Chinese Philosophy. His studies of James Legge’s English translations of The Chinese Classics and The Sacred Books of China have received international attention. In the past decades\, he has continued internationally to explore issues and dialogues related to theoretical matters dealing with traditional Chinese culture and its distinctives.
