The values present in Asia’s intellectual traditions can well demonstrate what it is to be ‘Asian’. The Program on Asia’s Intellectual Values revisits Asia’s ideological traditions in order to identify and establish the meaning of pre-modern Asian values. This attempt to illuminate Asian values from a fresh perspective is undertaken through multi-disciplinary and convergent research.

Main Projects and Research Topics

  • Discovering Asian values in the Fajia School of Thought: Examining legal texts
  • Discovering Asian values in Confucianism: Re-reading the Analects
  • Discovering Asian values in shamanistic folk religion
  • Discovering Asian values in Buddhism
