When:
April 14, 2008 12:00am
Time: 4:00PM

Dai Zhen (1724-1777), a leading scholar of the Qianlong era, criticized the Confucian orthodoxy for “killing people in the name of principle”. In his talk Torbjörn Lodén will analyze Dai Zhen’s criticism and compare it to the criticism formulated by Wang Yangming (1472-1529) and his followers. On the basis of this comparative analysis he will discuss the relationship between the meaning and function of Confucian ideas as an important aspect of the social dynamics of Confucianism in Chinese history.
