On April 22 and 23, Department of Philosophy hosted an international academic seminar. Around 50 scholars from all over the world attended this seminar and announced about 39 papers. THU President Dr. Mao-Jiun Wang and Dean of the College of Arts Dr. Yuan Fang Tung welcomed the participants.
It is a tradition for the THU Department of Philosophy to host large scale seminars every two years, inviting scholars to exchange ideas from their research. This year, the main topic is the contemporary Chinese philosophy. Scholars were encouraged to review the major academic disputes during the development of contemporary philosophy. Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism were enthusiastically discussed.
Since the foundation of THU, many well-known masters who played important roles in the development of Chinese philosophy, such as Mou Zongsan and Xu Fuguan, have taught in THU. By hosting this seminar, the Department of Philosophy maintains its ambition to promote the research in contemporary Chinese philosophy continuously.
