Title: Zhang Shizhao: A Forgotten Theorist of Social Change
2013 marks the 40th anniversary of the death of Zhang Shizhao; an influential Chinese intellectual most people have never heard of. In this lecture; Leigh Jenco will explain why we should care about Zhang; a political theorist who combined liberal and Confucian ideas to think about how individuals can make a difference. Working at a time of unprecedented change in Chinese society; he confronted a dilemma of global importance: How can we act together when no shared space or identity yet exists?
