RCCS Confucian Civility

Abstract:

In this talk, Amy Olberding discusses the sensibilities informing the early Confucian commitment to li, a body of practices that include what we call manners and civility. She focuses especially on ways that Confucian treatments of li can be adapted to understand current civic and community struggles.  There is much in the world at present that can tempt both rudeness and despair. Confucian treatments of manners and civility cannot fix this, but, she argues, they can help. 

Bio:
