CFP: "ASIAN-PACIFIC AND WORLD ORDER: SECURITY, ECONOMICS, IDENTITY AND BEYOND", CONFERENCE



"Asia-Pacific and World Order: Security, Economics, Identity and Beyond" International 
Studies Association Asia-Pacific Regional Conference 2019

The rise of populism and authoritarianism worldwide has caused friction to established orders and tested institutional strengths. In the Asia-Pacific the increasingly potent competition between major powers poses significant challenges to the stability and security of states and societies. The region has also witnessed the realignment and restructuring of middle powers’ alliances and foreign policies. The rising politicization of diaspora has affected domestic politics across the region. Competition in the South China Sea has the potential to fracture the status quo regionalism in Southeast Asia and create new coalitions and clubs of states. Climate change and disasters can make or break governments in the Asia-Pacific. Cyber-security has highlighted a new theatre of international security discourse. 

CFP: "CONSCIOUSNESS AND FUNDAMENTAL REALITY: LESSONS FROM EAST ASIAN PHILOSOPHY", CONFERENCE



Consciousness and Fundamental Reality: Lessons from East Asian Philosophy
June 11-13, 2019

Venue: Department of Philosophy, Sun Yat-Sen University, Zhuhai, China

The notion that consciousness is a fundamental aspect of reality, perhaps even reality's most fundamental aspect, is enjoying a considerable revival in contemporary analytic western philosophy, with renewed interest in panpsychism, idealism, quantum-based theories of consciousness, etc. In the philosophical traditions of East Asia, however, the ontological primacy of consciousness has been a central feature for millennia. In this conference we focus on the question what are the most valuable insights and lessons that this rich tradition of thought has to offer to contemporary theorizing on the relations between consciousness and fundamental reality. In particular, we will be interested in potentially valuable ideas which do not have clear equivalents in the philosophical tradition of the west, or which have not been properly attended to yet.
