Ralph Weber at the International Convention of Asia Scholars
“The State of Chinese Philosophy in Europe and the Future of Global Knowledge Production” was the topic of a paper Prof. Ralph Weber presented at the 11th International Convention of Asia Scholars (ICAS) at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands. The event took place from July 15-19, 2019.
In his paper, Ralph Weber first presented the past and present state of affairs of the study of Chinese philosophy in Europe. Against this background, he spoke about a series of challenges with regard to global knowledge production and the use of labels such as “Europe” and “China,” concluding with a reflection of recent attempts to meet these challenges in innovative ways.
