Way and Being: Between Daoist and Presocratic Approaches is a summer school
designed for students engaged in or interested in research opportunities within the
constellation of Chinese, Greek, and German philosophy of Way and Being. The
program includes presentations and discussions led by invited speakers on related
topics. Additionally, students will have the chance to share and discuss their ideas with
peers and speakers.
This summer school aims to foster philosophical and critical engagement by
facilitating dialogues between ancient Chinese and Greek sources within the context
of contemporary philosophical discourses, focusing but not limited to those
influenced by Martin Heidegger’s Way of thinking. We encourage discussions and
research that go beyond cultural clichés and agendas, approaching classical studies
with an attentiveness to modern reconstructions of ancient texts in both Chinese and
Greek traditions.
The encounter between early Chinese and Greek thought invites reflection on
how each tradition articulates the relationship between Way and Being. Parmenides’s
theory of Being, for instance, is also a theory of the way or ways: it raises the question
of whether there is only one way of being, or also a second way of non-being, or even
a third way between the two. Comparable questions have also shaped modern
Western and Chinese interpretations and translations of the Daoist classic Laozi 老子,
which has often been read as a philosophy of Way. “Way” (dào 道 or odos οδός) opens
up far-reaching and still little-explored approaches to Chinese and Greek philosophy.
These approaches include, among others, a systematic dialogue between the two
traditions through the theme of walking, wandering, and journeying.
This summer school continues the discussions of two previous meetings: one
at the Free University of Berlin (July 2025), also titled “Way and Being: Between Daoist
and Presocratic Approaches,” and another at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou (August
2025), titled “Philosophies of the Way: Laozi, Heraclitus, Parmenides, and Readings of
Heidegger.” The aim of this third meeting is to prepare the publication of two special
issues in 2027: “Way and Being: Between Daoist and Presocratic Approaches” (Asian
Studies, Ljubljana) and the joint special issue “Walking, Wandering, and Journeying:
Approaches from Chinese and Greek Thought” (Religions and Philosophies).

How to Apply
To facilitate in-depth exchanges and discussions, the summer school will be limited to
20 graduate students with the oportunity to present their work. Interested
participants should send their applications (CV and abstract) to Niels Weidtmann
([email protected]) by March 31, 2026. Admission will be
confirmed by April 30, 2026.

We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the I Ǝ&E Symposium: Intersections of Ethics and Aesthetics, which will be held on December 16–17, 2025at the University of Málaga.
The relationship between ethics and aesthetics has been an inexhaustible source of reflection throughout the History of Philosophy. In recent decades, both spheres have once again converged and blurred their boundaries, leading to exciting new developments in both fields.
This renewed entanglement has resulted in the development of new subdisciplines that emphasize the intersection between the aesthetic and the ethical. Examples include Yuriko Saito's aesthetics of care (2022) and Marta Tafalla’s environmental aesthetics (2019). Moreover, this convergence is not limited to a simple reunion between the two disciplines, but extends to the analysis of their modes of interaction and the conceptual problems they share, as evidenced in moralism (Carroll, 1996) and aestheticism (Alcaraz León, 2018).
We invite students at all levels, as well as researchers and professionals, to submit contributions that explore the current convergence between ethics and aesthetics, addressing issues such as:

• Creation, reception, and communication of ethical-aesthetic values.
  
• The relationship between moral judgments and aesthetic judgments.
  
• Aesthetics and ethics in political and social art.
  
• Feminist art and the aesthetics of resistance.
  
• Ethics, aesthetics, and new technologies.
  
• Embodiment and affect as a meeting ground between aesthetics and ethics.
  
• Transcultural perspectives: ethics and aesthetics in non-Western cultures.
  
• Philosophical theories on the intersection between ethics and aesthetics (aesthetics of care, environmental aesthetics, everyday aesthetics, etc.).
  
• Other topics (please specify when submitting your proposal).
  

Proposals should be in Spanish or English and include:

1.  Basic contact information (full name and email address).
2. A short bio.
3. The thematic line in which the proposal aims to be included
4. Title of the presentation.
5. Five keywords in alphabetical order.
6. An abstract of approximately 300–500 words.
7. A brief bibliography of up to five titles.

Proposals should be sent via email in PDF or Word file to the following address: [email protected].
Important dates and registration: 

• Deadline for submissions:October 17, 2025
