The conference continued with the key-note speech by Professor Dr Huang Kuan-min, a Researcher at the Institute of Chinese Literature and Philosophy (Academia Sinica), who titled his address “Dissemination and Reterritorialization: Mou Zong-san, Tang Jun-yi, and Refreshment of Contemporary Confucian Philosophy”

Throughout the two-day program, both European and Asian academics jointly addressed key issues in the field of philosophy originating from the region. Academics explored trends in the philosophical tradition: both the Chinese cultural tradition with an emphasis on Confucianism, as well as new philosophical methodologies and systems that contributed to philosophical development and discourse in Asia as a whole. At the same time, especially in the second part of the conference program, they also focused on the modern dynamics of relations between different actors in East Asia.
