The roundtable is held in conjunction with the publication of Encountering China: Michael Sandel and Chinese Philosophy (Harvard University Press, January 2018). In the book, leading scholars of Chinese philosophy explore points of contact between Michael Sandel’s work and the Confucian and Daoist traditions. In a concluding chapter, Professor Sandel replies to their commentaries. This roundtable will seek to elaborate and expand upon this dialog between Western and Chinese political thought, and to assess the response to Sandel's work in China, Japan, and South Korea. Following the roundtable, a book signing by Professor Sandel will be held in the CGIS concourse, with copies of the book available to purchase.
