Conference Program
Thematic Description
We are standing in an era not only full of great hope but
also great challenges that are unique and unprecedented in
human history. Such questions as unity or diversity, peace
or conflict, cooperation or confrontation have once again
become the challenges of our times. Although
people have different cultural traditions and value systems,
speak different languages, and live different lifestyles,
all wish to live a better life and year happiness, which is
a common human pursuit. This common pursuit requires us to
take up our responsibilities and together to face the great
challenges of our times. Hence, we need to continue
reminding ourselves of our original aspiration and mission,
to carry on the spirit of unity and cooperation, and to do
our best to sustain world peace and stability.
The conference focuses on the following thematics: happy
life seen from the perspective of multi-civilization; happy
life understood in the new era; philosophical examination
and analyses of happy life; indigenous narratives regarding
happy life, the value orientation for happy life; modernity
and modernization vs happy life; Chinese modernization and
happy life; achievement of happy life from the global
perspective, etc. The organizer would like to invite
scholars to think together about these and other related
issues.
