Are you interested in learning about Confucian debates on these topics? If you answer yes to either question, please click on the link to check out Youngsun Back’s intriguing paper, ‘Are animals moral?: Zhu Xi and Jeong Yakyong’s views on nonhuman animals,’ and make note of the cross-cultural discussion that will start next Tuesday (Nov 5th).
