SACP Listserv All Under Heaven - Symposium
Dear SACP Members and Friends,
Here are some details regarding an upcoming hybrid event that may be of interest (and flyer attached).
Join Joseph Harroff (American University), Tao Jiang (Rutgers University), Sarah Flavel (Bath Spa University, UK & SACP President) and Viren Murthy (University Wisconsin-Madison) as they discuss the recent translation of Zhao Tingyang’s creative reconstruction of a Zhou conception of the world political for critically theorizing contemporary global predicaments.
Together they will discuss and respond to All under Heaven: The Tianxia System for a Possible World Order – arguably one of the most highly influential political-theoretical treatises in contemporary China. This work has received significant attention across the Chinese intellectual scene.
Zhao's work has been criticised both for what might look like an endorsement of a new form of Chinese-led global imperialism (through soft-power) as well as for its arguable lack of realism about whether such coordination between humans at the global level is possible. But read more sympathetically however, some of Zhao's ideas could provide resources and perhaps new hope for rethinking the fate or our future political and environmental security, not as nations but as humans and even as an earth - as Tianxia: 'all under the skies/heavens'.

The Society for Asian and Comparative Philosophy was established in 1967 as a non-profit organization aimed at advancing the development of the disciplines of Asian and comparative philosophy in the international academic arena, and bringing together Asian and Western philosophers, as well as other scholars interested in Asian and world philosophy, for a mutually beneficial exchange of ideas. The Society seeks to provide the professional outlet for philosophers doing work in non-Western and comparative areas of philosophy. The group serves as the largest and most well-known professional organization for scholars in the fields of Asian and global philosophy.
