    China steht an einem Wendepunkt - politisch, wirtschaftlich und ideologisch. In Lesungen, Vorträgen und Diskussionen entfaltet sich ein vielschichtiges Bild: von klassischen Weisheitslehren über revolutionäre Denkschulen bis hin zu den Spannungen und Herausforderungen der Gegenwart. Die Geschichte der chinesischen Literatur und Philosophie wird in ihren prägenden Momenten nachgezeichnet. Doch gerade die aktuellen Spannungen und Umbrüche verleihen dem Thema eine besondere Brisanz. Chinas politische Rolle ist im Wandel, die zukünftige Entwicklung ungewiss. In einer Zeit rasanter Veränderungen verbindet sich historische Analyse mit der drängenden Frage, wohin der Weg führen wird.

    mit Lothar Ledderose, Manfred Osten et al.
