During this workshop, the author of the monograph “Principles and Laws in World Politics: Classical Chinese Perspectives on Global Conflict” Assistant Professor from Hong Kong Metropolitan University Dr. Walter Lee together with Prof. Erika de Wet (Institute of International Law and International Relations), Prof. Josef Marko (Institute of Public Law and Political Science) and Prof. Franz Winter (Institute for Religious Studies) will evaluate contemporary Chinese international relations in light of ancient Chinese philosophy, and discuss what this would mean to the future search for common principles and laws guiding modern international relations.
The book examines whether "Knowledge Archaeology of Chinese International Relations" (KACIR), serves as an example of cross-civilization conversation sources, responds sensibly to today's issues of international ethics and global justice. The monograph contends that emancipative hermeneutics holds the key to the Chinese soft power puzzle. A bottom-up, non-nationalistic, and non-ethnocentric approach to the Chinese civilization will reinvent intellectual pluralism and cosmopolitan elements in the Chinese tradition that interact constructively with and ultimately transcend the liberal Western model.
