SUMMARY:Lecture: Should Children be Carefree? A Chinese and Global Debate
DESCRIPTION:Should Children be Carefree? A Chinese and Global Debate\nProf. Hsiung Ping-Chen (Secretary General\, CIPSH)\n  \nPH 20. Hörsaal der Philosophischen Fakultät\, Humboldtallee 19/21\n 6. May (Tuesday)\, 18:15-19:45\nAbstract:  \nRecognized as signs of modernity\, children\, free roaming\, have been referred to as a best representatives for a progressive society.  Historically in China\, however\, as early as the Song Dynasty\, unique attention to children at play in arts and children’s health in traditional pediatrics prevailed\, as Neo-Confucian philosophers continued to debate whether they ought to be left carefree. Illustrated with Chinese paintings and medical texts\, this lecture will trace a thousand years of ebbs and flows of such concerns and interests on the nature of childhood. To reflect also on a contention and obsession with how to lessen burdens for today’s schoolers too\, in creating a child friendly environment that connects contemporary China with the rest of the world. The talk intends to offer a public occasion to argue and deliberate on this never-ending tug of war over whether or how children should be set free. \nSpeaker: \nProfessor Hsiung Ping-chen is a distinguished scholar and academic leader in the humanities\, with a multifaceted career across renowned international institutions. She holds a PhD in History from Brown University and an MSc from the Harvard School of Public Health. Her research spans childhood studies\, gender and family history\, and health humanities\, with a particular focus on Late Imperial and Modern China. She also engages with comparative cultural and social history\, public health\, and the intellectual history of Russia. Professor Hsiung has published extensively on the history of Chinese pediatrics\, the cultural memory of childhood\, and the evolution of health practices in Chinese society. Since 2020\, Professor Hsiung has served as Secretary-General of the International Council for Philosophy and Human Sciences (CIPSH)\, and she was re-elected to this position in 2023. Among other academic distinctions\, she also holds the UNESCO Co-Chair in “Global Asia” at McGill University and the CIPSH Chair in “New Humanities” at the University of California\, Irvine. She is also the founder of the Asian New Humanities Network and has held key leadership positions at institutions such as the Chinese University of Hong Kong\, where she served as Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Director of the Research Institute for the Humanities. \n  \nOrganizer: \nProf. Dominic Sachsenmaier\, University of Göttingen \n  \n  \n  \n© This image was generated with the assistance of OpenAI’s Chat GPT and is intended solely for promotional use.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Journey to the East (and Back): China and “Western Esotericism” from Reception History to Global Religious Studies
DESCRIPTION:Journey to the East (and Back): China and “Western Esotericism” from Reception History to Global Religious Studies\nDavide Marino (University of Erlangen-Nürnberg)\n\n  \nDate: May 8\, 2025\nTime: 18:00 – 19:30\nPlace: KWZ 0.603  \nAbstract: \nThis presentation examines the intricate and multifaceted relationship between Chinese spiritual culture(s) and the field of “Western Esotericism.” For centuries\, the East\, and particularly China\, was regarded by Europeans as a repository of superior spiritual knowledge\, a realm of profound wisdom that seemed inaccessible to the West. This perception of the East as a mystical and enigmatic source of ancient wisdom persisted across various periods of European intellectual history\, with China holding a particularly prominent place in Western imagination. Beginning in the early modern period\, and reaching its peak during the colonial era\, Western thinkers found abundant inspiration in Chinese religions\, philosophies\, and cultural practices and these elements were integrated into the evolving spiritual and philosophical discourses of the time\, ultimately becoming essential components of the eclectic mix of ideas now known as “Western Esotericism.” China was not simply “received” or passively absorbed into Western thought; rather\, various Chinese intellectuals\, spiritual leaders\, and cultural movements became active participants in a global esoteric discourse that transcended geographical boundaries and facilitated the exchange of ideas. This dynamic of intellectual and spiritual exchange is even more pronounced in contemporary times. While in “the West\,” Chinese cultural elements such as Chinese medicine\, the Daodejing\, and the notion of qi have become widely embraced as staples of global post-confessional spirituality\, “Western Esotericism” is increasingly being discussed\, reinterpreted\, and adapted in the People’s Republic\, both in commercial contexts and within academic discourse. This growing interest reflects a reciprocal flow of ideas that continues to shape global spiritual trends. Although often overlooked by Western scholars\, Chinese perspectives on “Western Esotericism” present a challenge to traditional diffusionist models\, which tend to view the flow of ideas as a one-way process. Instead\, these Chinese perspectives reveal a more complex and circular flow of ideas\, which calls into question the conventional notion of one-way reception (whether “from East to West” or “from West to East”). China did not merely provide raw material for Western thinkers to appropriate and adapt for their own purposes; rather\, Chinese cultural and spiritual traditions actively shaped and influenced the trajectory of global discourses on esotericism. Likewise\, contemporary Chinese discourses on “Western Esotericism” are increasingly framed around both domestic issues—such as the role and necessity of regulating religion in Chinese society—and international debates on religion\, science\, and public health. Thus\, this presentation advocates for a global and interdisciplinary approach to the study of esotericism—one that recognizes the entangled and reciprocal histories of “China” and “the West\,” and acknowledges their shared responsibility in shaping the development of modern and postmodern alternative religious trajectories. \nDavide Marino\, PhD \nDavide Marino specializes in the interplay between East Asian religions\, particularly Chinese\, and European Esotericism\, with a focus on Traditionalism. His Ph.D. thesis\, which received the CUHK Young Scholars Thesis Award in 2023\, examined the influence of Chinese and Vietnamese religious concepts on the works of Albert de Pouvourville and René Guénon. More recently\, he has been investigating the intersection of politics and esotericism in both China and Europe. \nOrganizers:\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen\nCentre for Modern East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \nImage: Image: Gauthier Delecroix\, Spirituality   CC BY 2.0\, https://flic.kr/p/MxGNDj

SUMMARY:Lecture: Towards a New World Order: Reading Zhao Tingyang’s Tianxia in Light of the Japanese Experience
DESCRIPTION:Towards a New World Order: Reading Zhao Tingyang’s Tianxia in Light of the Japanese Experience\n \n\n\n\n\n Prof. Viren Murthy (University of Wisconsin-Madison)\n\n\n\nPH 20. Hörsaal der Philosophischen Fakultät\, Humboldtallee 19/21\n\n\n \n\n\n13. May (Tuesday)\, 18:15–19:45\n\n\n\nAbstract: \nToday in the midst of a global pandemic\, we are constantly confronted with the inability of national governments to create the conditions for human flourishing.   In this context\, the recent attempts from Chinese Confucianists to envision a new world order could point the way to a more sustainable future.  This global gesture in recent Confucian theory overlaps with recent trends in Marxism. For example\, Jacques Bidet has written of an incipient world-state (état-monde)\, which could potentially go against the capitalist world order.  From its inception\, Marxism has been interested in a global movement to overcome capitalism.   But tianxia theorists seem to proceed from the opposite direction of Marxism.   Put simply\, while Marxists explain philosophical theories by relating them to social and historical structures\, Confucian tianxia theorists proceed from philosophy to history and politics.  Recently\, Marxists have questioned the Confucian tianxia approach and contend that such theories are merely an ideology to legitimate Chinese capitalism and the imperialist tendency of the contemporary Chinese government. In response to such criticisms\, I attempt to synthesize Marxism and tianxia theory by focusing on the contemporary Chinese thinker\, Zhao Tingyang.  With respect to imperialism\, one of the key issues concerns how Zhao envisions the unity of a world as encompassing the many\, without negating their particularity.   I deal with this ideal philosophically\, making comparisons to Hegel’s conception and also to thinkers in interwar Japan\, which was imperialist.  I claim that Zhang can avoid the pitfall of the Japanese path\, only if he places the problems of capitalism at the center of his theory.  In short\, one will not be able to achieve a non-imperialist global unity that respects multiplicity without overcoming global capitalism. \n\n\n \n\n\nSpeaker:\n\n\nMy work probes the historical conditions for the possibility of philosophy and politics in the modern world and in East Asia in particular. I am generally interested in the attempts of East Asian intellectuals to resist modernity through reviving premodern philosophies and religions\, such as Buddhism. My first book\, The Political Philosophy of Zhang Taiyan: The Resistance of Consciousness\, shows how in early 20th century China\, Zhang Taiyan\, drew on Consciousness-Only (Yogācāra) Buddhism to formulate a theory of revolution. In particular\, the book explains how this seemingly ancient body of knowledge is reformulated as China was incorporated into the global capitalist system of nation-states. \n \nIn June 2022\, I published The Politics of Time in China and Japan: Back to the Future (Routledge)\, which is a collection of essays that explore how Chinese and Japanese intellectuals mobilize traditional texts to create a better future. They produce what I call “back to the future” narratives\, in which they conjure the past to envision a world beyond global capitalism. These narratives are nationalistic but unlike in England and the United States\, this nationalism is connected to anti-imperialism and resistance to global inequality. I suggest that such inequality also divides Europe\, which enables comparisons between Germany and Asian nations\, all of whom saw themselves as being marginalized. \n \nMy third monograph Pan-Asianism and Legacy of the Chinese Revolution (University of Chicago Press\, 2023) shows how intellectuals in China and Japan promoted unity among weak Asian nations to resist Western domination. To promote such unity\, pan-Asianists struggled against Eurocentric visions of history articulated by philosophers such as Hegel\, who argued that the Orient had to follow the West. At the same time\, these thinkers appropriated Hegel’s criticisms of abstract individualism. I contend that Japanese and Chinese pan-Asianists drew on elements of both Asian and Western culture to posit a world beyond narrow self-interest\, capitalism\, and imperialism. The legacy of pan-Asianism is complex given that Japan employed this ideology to promote imperialism. Consequently\, postwar Japanese pan-Asianists had to confront the problem of war memory. Postwar pan-Asianists tried to show that a healthy transnationalism was both possible and necessary to struggle against Western imperialism. \n \nMy present project concerns how East Asian intellectuals drew on G.W.F Hegel to uncover logics to Chinese and Japanese history\, which culminate in a new world order inspired by their respective cultures. In addition to the above projects connected to East Asia\, I am also involved in a project on South Indian Classical Music and Tamil Identity\, which also explores issues of how traditions have been reconstituted by capitalist modernity. I have also been interested in how Marxists in (primarily in the North Atlantic) have drawn on Jewish Messianism to confront capitalist modernity.\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nOrganizer: \nProf. Dominic Sachsenmaier\, University of Göttingen \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nImage Disclaimer: \nThis promotional poster was generated using OpenAI’s ChatGPT (DALL·E) for non-commercial academic purposes.

SUMMARY:Lecture: The Great Transformation of International Order and the Future of Chinese Economy
DESCRIPTION:The Great Transformation of International Order and the Future of Chinese Economy\n  \nProf. Gao Bai (Duke University) \n  \nPH 20. Hörsaal der Philosophischen Fakultät\, Humboldtallee 19/21 \n 27. May (Tuesday)\, 18:15-19:45 \n  \nAbstract:  \nThe international order established after World War II is currently experiencing a profound transformation.  Many Chinese use 百年未有之大变局 （major changes unseen in a century）to describe the current situation. \n What are the driving forces behind this great transformation? \nIn his newly published book titled 《把脉：全球巨变与中国经济》（Taking A Pulse：Global Transformation and the Chinese economy）\, Bai Gao uses three long cycles of history\, which include the pendulum movement of globalization\, the cycle of hegemonic expansions\, and technological revolution\, to explain the drastic changes occurring in the international economic order and their profound impacts on the Chinese economy. \nBai Gao demonstrates that since China’s reform and opening up\, the dynamics of development of the Chinese economy have changed twice\, first to the world factory model focusing on external circulation by promoting export\, and then shifted to a supply-side demand model emphasizing internal circulation sustained by government spending in infrastructure construction and private investment in real estate. With low birth rate and ageing population and mounting debts of local governments\, these old strategies can no longer sustain economic growth.  Bai Gao predicts a new model for the Chinese economy in the 21st century: 休养生息（rest and recuperate）by developing strong social protection programs\, and 强筋壮骨 （strengthen muscles and bones）by upgrading industries and developing international competitiveness. \nSpeaker: \nGao Bai is a lifelong professor of sociology at Duke University. Professor Gao Bai graduated from Peking University in the 1980s and received a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree. In 1994\, he graduated from the Department of Sociology of Princeton University and received a doctorate in sociology. \nProfessor Gao Bai’s main research fields include economics and society\, comparative history sociology\, organizational theory\, comparative political economy\, international political economy and globalization. \nProfessor Gao Bai has been teaching at Duke University since graduation; has been a visiting scholar at the Institute of Social Sciences of the University of Tokyo\, the Department of Economics of the University of One Bridge\, the School of International Business and Law of Yokohama National University\, the Tokyo University of Economics and the Max Planck Institute of Social Studies in Cologne\, Germany; has been a visiting professor at the University of Tokyo\, Meiji University and Jacob University in Bremen\, Germany\, as a self-strengthening professor at the University of Shanghai and a lecture professor at the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics; and has been the director and chief expert of the China High Speed Railway Development Strategy Research Center at Southwest Jiaotong University since June 2014. \nOrganizer:  \nProf. Dominic Sachsenmaier\, University of Göttingen
