Reinterpreting Confucius’ Ideas on Law, Justice and Society
In this lecture, Dr Ying Yu will challenge conventional assumptions that China and the West have developed wholly different understandings of society, relations among its members, and between the people and government. Through a close analysis of Confucius’ ideas, based on the original script, Dr Yu will show how similar they are to the jurisprudential foundations of western societies, offering the basis for an entirely new approach.
