Scholars Conduct Dialogues on World History and Civilization

On May 17th, the "Dialogue on World History and Civilization" Symposium was held in the lecture hall of the School of Philosophy of Wuhan University. Professor Li Xuetao, Dean of the School of Global History at Beijing Foreign Studies University, Professor He Yansheng, Director of Religious Studies from Kaisei Gakuen Colledes in Japan, and Professor Wu Genyou from the School of Philosophy of Wuhan University served as guests.

The three professors conducted an in-depth discussion on the beginning of the world history and its specific connotations from the perspective of speculative philosophy, religious studies, Marxist philosophy and sociological theory. They agreed that at the stage of national history, most people think that their own nation is the center of the world. Only when they enter the stage of world history and use the perspective of world history to see the world, human beings have jumped out of the limits of nationalism.

At the end of the symposium, the three guests answered questions about the clash of civilizations, and carefully analyzed the causes of the clash of civilizations.
