Confucianism: Comparisons and Controversies

Professors Eirik Harris (Hong Kong Baptist University) and Henrique Schneider (Nordakademie) are guest editing volume 8.2 of the Journal Culture and Dialogue (Brill).

The guest editors seek 7-10 papers of high quality on topics related to Chinese philosophy, particularly engaging with all different types of Confucianism. This can occur from a perspective rooted within Chinese philosophy as well as in a comparative approach. The guest editors seek to put together a diverse special issue covering Classical Confucianism as well as contemporary themes for an audience that includes non-specialists in Chinese philosophy.

The guest editors are especially looking for contributions on:

• Virtues and the state of (Chinese) philosophy of virtues
• Virtue politics and its limits
• Virtue as an ideal vs. realistic approach in ethics, political theory, and international relations
• The relationship between virtues and rituals
• Philosophy of rituals: past, present, and future
• Meritocracy and roles
• The virtues and vices of meritocracy
• Different versions of meritocracy in Chinese (and Confucian) philosophies
• Contemporary issues in Confucianism
• Contemporary philosophical criticisms of Confucianism

If you are interested in submitting, send you abstract, draft paper, or full paper until March 15^th to Henrique Schneider (henri.schneider@PROTECTED) and Eirik Harris (eiriklangharris@PROTECTED). Once accepted, final versions of the papers will be due June 1^st.
