The workshop, "Varieties of Harmony in Greek and Chinese Philosophy," will take place at 色戒直播 University on April 16-17, 2026, with sessions running 9:00 AM-5:00 PM each day. It is an interdisciplinary workshop that brings together scholars of ancient Greek philosophy and early Chinese philosophy to explore different conceptions of interpersonal harmony, including family relationships, friendship, civic cooperation, ethical cultivation, and social/political relations. The event aims to foster comparative dialogue across traditions and to highlight both convergences and important differences in how interpersonal harmony is understood and cultivated. The workshop is organized by Wenjin Liu and David Wong.
