\"\"
\nCross-Cultural Exchange and Civilizational Integration
\n<\/strong>
\nHow can Yangming\u2019s philosophy transcend regional and cultural boundaries to reach a wider world? The International Symposium on Yangming Culture provided a vital platform for cross-cultural dialogue.<\/p>\n

Speakers included Professor Wen Haiming, Director of the Center for Yi Studies at Renmin University of China; Professor Aonobu Nagatomi of Waseda University, Japan; and Professor Masaki Tanaka of Nishogakusha University, former Director of its Yangming Studies Center. They discussed topics such as the relationship between Yangming studies and Yi philosophy, the transmission and influence of Yangming thought in Japan, and the dialogue between Yangming philosophy and phenomenology \u2014 deepening mutual understanding and fostering cultural coexistence.<\/p>\n

Yangming philosophy continues to thrive internationally, inspiring new interpretations and perspectives. Zhang Xuezhi, Professor Rentaro Sato (Emeritus Professor, Hokkaido University), and four other scholars shared their latest findings on the relevance of Yangming\u2019s thought to modern humanity and its resonance across civilizations.<\/p>\n

During the roundtable session, experts observed that Yangming\u2019s core concepts \u2014 \u201cthe extension of innate moral knowledge\u201d and \u201cthe unity of knowledge and action\u201d \u2014 continue to nurture contemporary wisdom, offering profound guidance for moral cultivation, social ethics, and inter-civilizational dialogue.<\/p>\n

Bringing Philosophy to the People
\n<\/strong>
\nOne of the conference\u2019s highlights was its effort to make culture accessible to the public. Professor Wang Defeng from Fudan University\u2019s School of Philosophy delivered a special public lecture titled \u201cWang Yangming\u2019s Philosophy and Contemporary China,\u201d attracting over 800 attendees, including cultural enthusiasts and local residents.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Professor Wang outlined the intellectual structure of Yangming philosophy, summarizing its key tenets as \u201cMind is Principle,\u201d \u201cUnity of Knowledge and Action,\u201d and \u201cExtension of Innate Knowledge.\u201d He emphasized that true understanding comes from practice \u2014 genuine mind cultivation requires continuous reflection and life engagement.<\/p>\n

Expanding on its contemporary relevance, he noted that revisiting Yangming\u2019s philosophy today means continuing Wang\u2019s unfinished enlightenment project \u2014 awakening individual moral consciousness and nurturing independent character.<\/p>\n

In the interactive Q&A session, Professor Wang engaged with participants on topics such as resilience in business management and how beginners can approach Yangming studies. He advised entrepreneurs to maintain composure and patience in times of hardship and recommended that newcomers begin by studying The Records of Teaching and Practice (Chuanxilu) \u2014 a compilation of dialogues between Wang Yangming and his disciples that illuminates the heart of his philosophy.<\/p>\n
