Prof. Feng Qi (1915-1995) was one of the few original, systematic philosophers in the second half of the 20th century in mainland China. His unique contribution to philosophy is his theory of wisdom. He is also remembered for his expertise on the history of Chinese philosophy.
To celebrate the publication of the English version of Feng Qi’s two books, that is, Human Freedom and the True; the Good and the Beautiful and A Concise History of Chinese Philosophy on the 110 anniversary of Feng Qi’s birth, the English Translation Publication Launch and an academic Chinese philosophy seminar will be held in commemoration at China Institute in America. We believe this event will contribute to the international exchange of philosophical ideas.
