Conference Program
Theme
In the ongoing development of society, philosophers
advancing in their thinking respond to today's challenges in
understanding the world, and its progress. Innovative
interpretations of the classics, which contain the wisdom of
our ancestors are helpful in dealing with the issues and
problems of contemporary societies. It is important for
scholars to investigate the significance of classical
philosophies for contemporary times and to exchange their
insights and understandings in order to provide improved
direction for the future.
For the first time, the Institute of Philosophy of the
Vietnamese Academy of Social Sciences, the Institute of
Scholastic Philosophy and Department of Philosophy of Fu Jen
University and the Council for Research in Values and
Philosophy (RVP) will together hold an international
conference on the above theme. We hope it will open a
profound dialogue and discussion between among scholars and
thinkers in relation to their various cultural traditions.
Papers based on the conference theme are invited in the
following areas:
1. How Western and Eastern classical philosophies influence
contemporary thought.
2. How to respond to today's issues and challenges through
the interpretation of classical philosophies.
3. Classical philosophies and their innovative
interpretations in contemporary times.
4. Comparative studies between Western and Eastern classical
philosophies.
