- Description
There are different camps on the issue of whether Confucianism is compatible with the idea of human rights. In this talk, hosted by Australia-China Institute for Arts and Culture and the Department of Philosophy of the School of Humanities and Communication Arts at WSU, Associate Professor Yong Li will argue that Confucianism not only provides an alternative foundation for human rights, but also avoids the traditional challenges against the autonomy based idea of human rights: the rights holder problem and the incompleteness problem. Yong Li, (PhD, Saint Louis University) is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Wuhan University, China. FREE. Registration Essential.
Speakers: Associate Professor Yong Li
