Since the days of Ancient Chinese and Ancient Greek ethics philosophy has always been concerned with matters of human action, society, and culture. The conference invites novel approaches to, and critical reflections upon, one of the most basic concerns of philosophy. The topic ranges over a number of issues from ethics, moral and political philosophy, and the philosophy of culture. The conference wants to bring together scholars from different contexts and traditions in East and West to engage in a fruitful and inspiring exchange. A comparative perspective on practical philosophy is particularly encouraged.
