The video of the third webinar in the Telos-Paul Piccone Institute’s “China Keywords” series is now available and can be viewed here. In this webinar, Eric Hendriks talks with Prof. Shadi Bartsch about the reception and use of ancient Greek philosophers in contemporary Chinese political thought.
Prof. Bartsch is the Helen A. Regenstein Distinguished Service Professor of Classics at the University of Chicago and the author and editor of a dozen books on Greek and Roman Antiquity. For her latest monograph on the reception of the ancient Greeks in China, she spent ten years studying Mandarin. The effort paid off: its fruit is Plato Goes to China: The Greek Classics and Chinese Nationalism (Princeton University Press, 2023).
