Conferences
NECCT 4The Fourth Northeast Conference on Chinese Thought, hosted by Yang Xiaomei and Tom Radice, was held on 7-8 November 2015 at Southern Connecticut State University. Many presentations concerned the Mencius, and contemporary schools of thought influencing the Mencius. A few are preserved here.
For the Project's view of the Mencius (that it consists of a few interviews of Mencius with contemporary rulers, plus the writings of two posthumous schools, a northern one whose text is MC 4-7, and a southern one whose text is MC 2B2-3B10), see some of the background material posted on the Mencius Conference page.
