Call for Papers | International Graduate Conference of Philosophy at ECNU
This International Graduate Conference of Philosophy intends to gather brilliant graduate students and early career scholars to discuss different aspects of philosophical innovations and traditions. The organizing committee, drawn from the long-standing international Graduate Program in Chinese Philosophy at ECNU, is committed to collect voices from various philosophical backgrounds focused on Chinese Philosophy and comparative philosophy, as well as excellent research in other areas.
This year we take benmo 本 末 ，or "roots and branches" as our guiding theme. Rootedness, grounding, the archeology of thought and hermeneutics shape thinking in ways often difficult to detect. Branches, reinterpretations and applications of philosophical wisdom, which are frequently the more obvious aspects of philosophical reflections, stem from roots.
Participants are invited to address both historical and pressing contemporary issues from the perspectives of Chinese, comparative and cross-cultural philosophy, as well as others philosophical approaches. Some guiding questions include: What role does philosophy play in our changing world both historically and theoretically? What positions did ancient masters and their legacies take on perennial questions impacting human existence? How are philosophical branches related to their rootedness? Can we philosophically speak of branches without accounting for roots?
