Conference Announcement Theme: One-Many Relations in Chinese Philosophy Type: Online Workshop Institution: Philiminality Oxford Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) Location: Online Date: 6.11.2021 __________________________________________________ Philiminality Oxford is delighted to announce a one-day online workshop entitled ‘One-Many Relations in Chinese Philosophy’, jointly organised with Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). In the worldview of different traditions, we usually find paradoxical articulations of one-many relations, such as “one is many”, “all in each”, “trinity”, “unity of heaven and the human”, and so on. What are the different strategies employed by different thinkers, especially those from the Chinese philosophical traditions, to account for the diversification of one or the unification of many? What would be the foundation for contemplating one-many relations? This workshop aims to investigate these questions with a view to intercultural examination and dialogue, focusing particularly on Chinese philosophy.
