Xunzi’s shendu(愼獨)


  • Date: September 26th, Thursday, 2024, 16:00 – 18:00
  • Location: Room 304, SNUAC (Bldg. 101)

Presenter: Jang-hee Lee (Gyeongin National University of Education)

The Program on Asia’s Intellectual Values will focus not only on Daoist values but also on Confucian values starting in 2024. This seminar aims to invite Professor Jang-hee Lee from the Gyeongin National University of Education for a discussion. The presenter will not only explore the possible meanings of ‘Sindo’ (the concept of ‘信讀’ or ‘trustworthy reading’) but also draw attention to the fact that the concept appears in the works of Xunzi (or ‘Sunzi’). We hope that this discussion will provide valuable insights into Xunzi’s concept of ‘Sindo’ and contribute to a better understanding of Confucian values in Asia.
