At this link: StFX professor Dr. William Sweet completes two-week lecture tour in China | St. Francis Xavier University
StFX philosophy professor Dr. William Sweet recently completed a two-week lecture tour in East Asia, where he spoke at five major universities in South and Southeast China.
Professor Sweet’s lectures centered on the introduction of Western ethics to China in the early 20th century, highlighting the influence of British idealism. This philosophical movement, which emerged in the late 19th century, significantly impacted various fields, including philosophy, politics, religion, social policy, and art, in Britain, its empire, and beyond.
Dr. Sweet says currently, there is a resurgence of interest in China regarding the introduction of European moral and social philosophy in China and its relevance to contemporary philosophical movements—an area in which Dr. Sweet is an expert. This interest can be seen in the development of new academic programs and new book series and journal articles in China, focused on translating key texts from British idealist philosophy."
