Type: International Conference
Institution: Council for Research in Values and Philosophy (RVP)
   Department of Philosophy, Nankai University
Location: Tianjing (China)
Date: 16.–18.7.2015

The issue of justice and responsibility in the context of
multi-cultures is both a theoretical and practical one. It is certain
that the pursuit of justice is one of most basic values of human
beings, and the responsibility of fulfillment of the value of justice
is the highest obligation. However, in the multi-cultural background,
different nations, different countries and evendifferent social
strata within a country have different understandings of justice and
responsibility with their significant cultural differences. Such
cultural differences haveprofound impact on internal systems and
social policies of a nation-state, on the one hand, and also on a
reasonable construction and development of the global world order.
Particularly since this century, with the ever more complexity of the
world situation, the issue of justice and responsibility has become
even most important in economic exchange, political interaction,
cultural and diplomatic activities and military operations among
nations.

Therefore, there is an urgent need for us to study such questions:
Are there or may be some commonalities or basic understandings which
can help us reach some consensus of understanding justice in the
context of multi-cultures? Is it possible to generate a justice
theory which is more inclusive and respectful to cultural
differences? How to deal with the relationship between justice and
interest? Is it possible and how to implement the justice principle
in the solution of various conflicts and confrontations? What is the
responsibility of a nation in the international affairs? What are the
basic responsibilities the government and citizens should play in a
nation-state? Is it possible for both of them to exemplify the value
of justice? Or how can the value of justice be expressed in the
responsibilities of a nation, its government and its citizens? And so
on. No doubt, all these issues are crucial in relation to the social
harmony and world peace.


There is no registration fee. All travel expenses and hotel cost will
be covered by participants (or their institutions). The local
organizer will cover meals and coffee/tea during the conference.
