Fwd: Mini-Workshop (16/4) on Confucian Political Philosophy: Can Confucianism Be "Progressive"?

[PC CHOW]

Dear all,

The message and poster below is self-explanatory. Stephen Angle just published a new book entitled Contemporary Confucian Political Philosophy (Polity 2012). I thin the mini-workshop will focus on his new book.
