 The event is part of the Virtual Symposium "Conversations on Chinese Philosophy", organized by the University of Naples "L'Orientale" and Tallinn University. 

Participants:

Professor Jana S. Rošker, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia
Professor Lee Ming-huei, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan
Professor Fabian Heubel, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan
Professor Huang Kuan-min, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan
Assistant Professor Wu Hui-ling, Fu Jen Catholic University, New Taipei City, Taiwan  

The participants will discuss about the role, function and significance of modern and contemporary Taiwanese philosophy and its contributions to the further development of Chinese philosophy, especially during the second half of the 20th century.

While the Chinese conceptual tradition (especially Confucianism) fell out of favour from the 1950s onwards and was often banned or at least severely criticized on the mainland, Taiwanese philosophers constantly strove to preserve and develop it. Many of them tried to modernize their own traditions through dialogs with Western thought, especially with the ideas of the European Enlightenment. However, it was not only about preserving tradition; in the second half of the 20th century, several complex and coherent philosophical systems emerged in Taiwan. The creation of these discourses is evidence of the great creativity and innovative power of many Taiwanese theorists, whose work is still largely unknown in the Western world.

They will also introduce the results of the research project Modern and Contemporary Taiwanese Philosophy (RG004-U-17), which is supported by the Taiwanese Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for international scholarly exchange. In this context, they will introduce two publications:

A special issue on Taiwanese philosophy of the academic journal Asian Studies published in September 2020 at the University of Ljubljana.

An edited volume entitled Modern and Contemporary Taiwanese Philosophy: Traditional Foundations and New Developments, published in January 2021 at the Cambridge Scholars Publishing.
