讲座内容简介：

This presentation discusses the relationship of Dewey and Confucius in regards the role of the individual and community. The first part of the presentation will discuss Dewey’s own characterization of Confucius and Confucian thought during his visit to China (1919-1921) and immediately afterwards. The second part of the presentation will discuss emerging scholarship on the parallels between Confucius’s thought and Dewey’s, especially by Dewey scholars and educationists such as Roger Ames, Sor-hoon Tan, Hunter McEwan, and Joseph Grange. A discussion of the historical figure of Confucius and the history of Confucianism in China will also be undertaken.
