Talk by Ady Van den Stock on Mou Zongsan and Contextualization in Philosophy
On February 13, 2020, Ady Van den Stock gave a talk at the Institute for European Global Studies on the topic of “The Society of New Confucianism: Hermeneutical Strategies of Contextualization and Evasion in the work of Mou Zongsan.” The talk was offered in the framework of the SNSF-funded research project on “The Exterior of Philosophy: On the Practice of New Confucianism.”
Ady Van den Stock provided a theoretical discussion of the problem of contextualization, particularly as it applies to the field of philosophy, before commenting on the strategies of contextualization and decontextualization at work in the philosophy of well-known modern Confucian Mou Zongsan. He argued that if we take the contextualization of philosophy seriously, we should also pay attention to the way philosophers theorize contextualization and the exterior of philosophy in relation to their own work.
Ady Van den Stock is a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Languages and Cultures of Ghent University.
