SUMMARY:A roundtable discussion on "Encountering China: Michael Sandel and Chinese Philosophy"
DESCRIPTION:Participants:\nMichael Sandel (Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor of Government\, Harvard University)\nJoseph C.W. Chan (Professor\, Department of Politics and Public Administration\, University of Hong Kong)\nChaibong Hahm (President\, The Asan Institute for Policy Studies\, Korea)\nTatsuo Inoue (Professor\, Graduate Schools for Law and Politics\, University of Tokyo\, Japan)\nHongmei Qu (Professor\, Department of Philosophy\, Jilin University\, China) \nChaired by Elizabeth Perry (Henry Rosovsky Professor of Government\, Harvard University; Director\, Harvard-Yenching Institute) \nOrganized by the Harvard-Yenching Institute \nThe roundtable is held in conjunction with the publication of Encountering China: Michael Sandel and Chinese Philosophy (Harvard University Press\, January 2018\, https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674976146). In the book\, leading scholars of Chinese philosophy explore points of contact between Michael Sandel’s work and the Confucian and Daoist traditions. In a concluding chapter\, Professor Sandel replies to their commentaries. This roundtable will seek to elaborate and expand upon this dialog between Western and Chinese political thought\, and to assess the response to Sandel’s work in China\, Japan\, and South Korea.

SUMMARY:Colin P.C. Jones - Searching for a Social Order: The Sociology and Afterlives of Law in Japanese-Occupied China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Colin P.C. Jones\, Reischauer Institute Postdoctoral Fellow (Ph.D. Japanese History\, Columbia 2017)\nModerator: Andrew Gordon\, Lee and Juliet Folger Fund Professor of History\, Harvard University \nThis talk connects the legal history of the Japanese empire to the broader history of legal and social thought in the twentieth century. It examines the design\, execution\, and long afterlife of the North China Rural Customary Law Survey. Conducted from 1940 to 1944\, the survey was unprecedented for the ethnographic approach it took to its subject. Through interviews with Chinese villagers\, its researchers sought to uncover the intricate web of customary practices\, associational norms\, and religious beliefs that coordinated and regulated daily life independently of the state—or what survey’s designer\, Suehiro Izutarō\, called the “living law.” I trace this concept to its inception in Habsburg Central Europe and show how\, through its implementation in northern China\, it continues to shape our understanding of East Asian legal systems. \n

SUMMARY:Jennifer Rudolph and Michael Szonyi - The Coop Event Series/ "The China Questions" Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join the editors and contributors to The China Questions for a book launch at the Harvard Coop’s Event Series. \nMany books offer information about China\, but few make sense of what is truly at stake. The questions addressed in this unique volume provide a window onto the challenges China faces today and the uncertainties its meteoric ascent on the global horizon has provoked. \nIn only a few decades\, the most populous country on Earth has moved from relative isolation to center stage. Thirty-six of the world’s leading China experts—all affiliates of the renowned Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University—answer key questions about where this new superpower is headed and what makes its people and their leaders tick. They distill a lifetime of cutting-edge scholarship into short\, accessible essays about Chinese identity\, culture\, environment\, society\, history\, or policy. \nChina has already captured the world’s attention. The China Questions takes us behind media images and popular perceptions to provide insight on fundamental issues. \nJoin editors Jennifer Rudolph and Michael Szonyi\, and contributors Peter Bol\, Andrew Erickson\, Susan Greenhalgh\, Wai-yee Li\, and Karen Thornber\, at the Harvard Coop to discuss the book and the key questions it raises about China’s future. \nEditors \nJennifer Rudolph\, Associate Professor of Modern Chinese political History\, Worcester Polytechnic Institute \nMichael Szonyi\, Professor of Chinese History\, Harvard University \nContributors \nPeter Bol\, Vice Provost for Advances in Learning\, and Charles H Carswell Professor of East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, Harvard university \nAndrew Erickson\, Professor of Strategy\, Naval War College \nSusan Greenhalgh is Professor of Anthropology\, Harvard University \nWai-yee Li\, Professor of Chinese Literature\, Harvard University \nKaren Thornber\, Professor of Comparative Literature\, and East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, Harvard University \n

SUMMARY:Bryan Lowe - Preaching to the Periphery: Buddhism in Provincial Villages in Ninth-Century Japan
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Bryan Lowe\, Vanderbilt University \nThis paper looks at itinerant preaching in early ninth-century Japan with a particular focus on sermons intended for provincial villagers. In contrast to most studies of this period\, which address sectarian founders\, I will highlight figures peripheral to dominant scholarly accounts: minor monks\, provincial patrons\, and destitute villagers. I will introduce a ninth-century collection of homiletic notes\, known as the Draft of Tōdaiji Liturgies (Tōdaiji fujumon kō)\, as well as related archaeological and narrative evidence that illuminate Buddhism as a lived religion in the provinces. These sources show how monks crafted doctrines aimed at their provincial and sometimes impoverished audiences. They taught that joining one’s palms could replace almsgiving and depicted the village as manifesting the body of Vairocana. I will argue that a study of these individuals and teachings prompt a reassessment  of the development of Buddhism in ancient and medieval Japan.

SUMMARY:Andrew Field - Nightlife in Shanghai: From the Jazz Age 1920s to the Current Age of the Super-Wealthy
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Andrew Field\, Associate Dean of Undergraduate Programs\, Duke Kunshan University\, China \nIn the 1920s\, Shanghai became known worldwide for its nightlife as the city learned to dance to the rhythms of the American jazz age. The war years of the 1940s and the Communist Revolution of the 1950s put an end to the city’s dance halls and cabarets\, but the reform era of the 1980s saw the revival of dancing in the city. By the 1990s\, more sophisticated discos\, bars\, and lounges arose in the city as it internationalized. More recently\, a caste of super-wealthy Chinese known as fu er dai (“wealthy second generation”) has taken over the most exclusive club spaces in the city\, spending thousands of dollars per night\, and signifying the growing gap between wealth and poverty in China. \nAndrew Field (B.A.\, Asian Studies\, Dartmouth College; Ph.D.\, East Asian Languages and Cultures\, Columbia University) has taught at universities in America\, Australia\, China\, and Korea\, and is currently Associate Dean of Undergraduate Programs at Duke Kunshan University in China. He is the author of Shanghai’s Dancing World: Cabaret Culture and Urban Politics (2010) and Mu Shiying: China’s Lost Modernist (2014)\, and co-author with James Farrer of Shanghai Nightscapes: A Nocturnal Biography of a Global City (2015).

SUMMARY:Dan Arnold - Personalism and the Mādhyamika Recuperation of Conventional Truth: Some Heretical Thoughts
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dan Arnold\, University of Chicago \nOver the years\, I have advanced an interpretation of Madhyamaka that frames Nāgārjuna’s arguments in terms suggested by some contemporary debates in philosophy of mind. Nāgārjuna can thus be understood to reject the reductionist elaboration of anātmavāda that was epitomized for him by Ābhidharmika philosophy\, and as doing so for the reason that the Ābhidharmika’s own project depends for its intelligibility on the “conventionally real” (saṃvṛtisat) world. This talk will suggest that that point can be understood in terms of Nāgārjuna’s having had affinities with the so-called pudgalavādin “school” of thought. While there has been some philological work suggesting such affinities\, this talk will focus on philosophical considerations that recommend this view – and\, as well\, on some methodological reasons for thinking this reading is not tantamount to attributing a “heretical” view to Nāgārju \nDan Arnold is a scholar of Indian Buddhist philosophy\, which he engages in a constructive and comparative way. Considering Indian Buddhist philosophy as integral to the broader tradition of Indian philosophy\, he has particularly focused on topics at issue among Buddhist schools of thought (chiefly\, those centering on the works of Nāgārjuna and of Dharmakīrti)\, often considering these in conversation with critics from the orthodox Brahmanical school of Pūrva Mīmāṃsā. His first book – Buddhists\, Brahmins\, and Belief: Epistemology in South Asian Philosophy of Religion (Columbia University Press\, 2005) – won an American Academy of Religion Award for Excellence in the Study of Religion. His second book – Brains\, Buddhas\, and Believing: The Problem of Intentionality in Classical Buddhist and Cognitive-Scientific Philosophy of Mind (Columbia University Press\, 2012) – centers on the contemporary philosophical category of intentionality\, taken as useful in thinking through central issues in classical Buddhist epistemology and philosophy of mind. This book received the Toshihide Numata Book Prize in Buddhism\, awarded by the Center for Buddhist Studies at the University of California\, Berkeley (see below for more information). He is presently working on an anthology of Madhyamaka texts in translation\, to appear in the series “Historical Sourcebooks in Classical Indian Thought.” His essays have appeared in such journals as Philosophy East and West\,the Journal of Indian Philosophy\, Asian Philosophy\, the Journal of the International Association of Buddhist Studies\, the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy\, and Revue Internationale de Philosophie.
