  Global Ethics of Compromise

  What are the normative assumptions and solutions proposed to develop morally right or wrong compromise typologies? Can we develop a universal ethics of compromise or does compromise vary depending on the socio-cultural history of a country? To what extent is culture relevant in shaping types and norms of compromise? The conference aims, firstly, to understand how to distinguish a compromise from a compromise of principles; what constitutes an ethical or fair compromise? Second, it will analyze if practices of compromise vary from one country to another. To do so, different types of compromise will be explored through geopolitical, philosophical, historical approaches, with a particular focus on Japan and Taiwan. This symposium will examine theoretical issues and practices associated with compromise, by adopting a global perspective. It will bring together contributions from European, American and Asian researchers.

  Animal ethics in Asian literature

  Special issue of "Impressions d'Extrême-Orient" (IDEO)

  Human beings, as well as animals, feel pain…and are therefore sensitive and capable of empathy. The special issue of Impressions d’Extrême-Orient aims to address the issue of animal ethics in Asian literature. Through articles and/or translations of philosophical, historical, spiritual, religious and literary works, this issue endeavours to figure out if ancient and contemporary Asian authors do invite us to think about animal ethics, and if they have imagined another form of human-animal relationship that would not be based on the domination and oppression of other species.

  Indonesian Exceptionalism: Values and Morals of the Middle Ground

  ‘Exceptionalism’ is a borrowed political term that implies that a country or entity is somehow special. Indonesia is not small. Indonesia is not poor in cultures, religions, society, or ethnic groups. Indonesia is not unimportant economically, regionally, or politically. Historically, Indonesia has always been an exceptional place. Indonesia as ‘imagined community’ continues to be an ongoing process. Various questions that can be raised include: What are relevant Indonesian values and morals for maintaining Indonesia’s competitiveness in the global world? What is religion’s contribution to forming agreed values and ethics? To what extent is there an Indonesian contribution in balancing Islamic values and democratic practices? How do religious values impact the ethics of state governance?

  Norms and changes. Eastern models and counter models

  Moralists studies group day

  Après avoir étudié les modifications de la norme dans le temps, c'est à la confrontation de la norme à l'altérité, géographique et culturelle, que s'intéressera le « groupe d'étude des moralistes » lors de cette journée consacrée aux « modèles et contre-modèles orientaux ». On s'interrogera sur ce que devient la norme européenne quand elle rencontre la réalité orientale, et sur la (les) signification(s) que peut revêtir l'Orient pour la pensée morale aux XVII^e et XVIII^e siècles. On se penchera aussi sur la manière dont est appréhendé le changement (reconnu pour tel dans sa différence, ou bien adapté, et donc réduit, à ce qui est perçu comme une norme), ainsi que sur la façon dont il peut être exploité dans la polémique contre la (les) norme(s) de l'Occident chrétien.
