Philosopher Li Zehou
This online conference (ZOOM link) is being held in honor of Professor Li Zehou on November 2, 2022, the first anniversary of his death.
The conference has been organized by Roger T. Ames and Jana S. Rošker with the help of Maja M. Kosec. It will extend over 11 hours, namely from UTC 7:00 to 20:00 (7:00 AM - 8:00 PM) and across four different time zones.
Many internationally renowned experts on Li Zehou have accepted our invitation and are participating in this conference. We are both proud and honored.
On this website, you will find the conference program and the proceedings, which include preliminary drafts by (almost) all the participants. They will be discussed at the conference and then revised for the final publication of the Li Zehou memorial volume that will be submitted to SUNY Press.
We hope that the conference will be interesting and inspiring, and that it will give us a lot of new food for thought. Creating new ideas by honoring and developing the old ones is something Li Zehou always valued. Therefore, we believe that this meeting will be an excellent opportunity to celebrate and appreciate all that we have learned from this great philosopher.
On behalf of the organizers,
Jana S. Rošker
