Philosophy Now Forum

Hello yes we do have some subscribers in Hong Kong - about a dozen or so - but I don't know if any of them read this forum.

What would you like to discuss?

I would like to discuss Hong Kong philosophy.

My wife did, in a sense, study Hong Kong philosophy. Her PhD was about the ideas of a New Confucian philosopher called Tang Junyi. He was born in mainland China but moved to Hong Kong in 1949, and helped establish a college there which eventually joined with several other colleges to form the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). He died in the 1970s.

The New Confucians are a recent tendency in the tradition of Chinese philosophy. Obviously they are influenced by the philosophy of Confucius, but also by Western thinkers too. There is a section about them in this Philosophy Now article from a while back

(Not sure what happen to the original post in this thread. Somebody asked if we had any readers in Hong Kong.)

Well, they do say that the Japan's are more intelligent than Americans.

Maybe you can point me to the Poco-loco Group, I hear it is an sanitarium.

What does this thread have to do with Japan?
