Conflict and Harmony: From Embodied Emotions to Global Realms

The Joint Meeting of the SACP (http://www.sacpweb.org/) and the ASACP (http://philosophy.unimelb.edu.au/asacp/) in 2013 will be held at the National University of Singapore (http://www.fas.nus.edu.sg/philo/). The conference theme, "Conflict and Harmony: From Embodied Emotions to Global Realms," is designed to invite scholars representing Asian traditions of thought to present their research on the many ways in which philosophers of these heritages thematize the dynamics of conflict and harmony. Relevant topics could span a broad range of problematics, from the internal conflicts of desires and ideas, emotions and reason, body and mind, and how to resolve these in practice to social, political and global conflicts and strategies for their resolution. The theme will also accommodate discussions of the continuing conflicts or historical development from conflicts to reconciliation between different schools of thought and philosophies in different traditions or between tradition! The theme is intended to increase engagement amongst participants. However, the conference will consider abstracts and presentations on various topics that correspond to members' areas of interest as well.
