Congress # Beijing, China |
24th IVR World Congress – Global
Harmony and Rule of Law The 24th World Congress of
Philosophy of Law and Social Philosophy will be held in Beijing
on September 15-20, 2009. The main theme of the World Congress
is "global harmony and rule of law". The concept of harmony has
figured prominently in both eastern and western philosophical
traditions, and can be interpreted to describe the developmental
goals of many societies. Unlike the more often invoked concept
of "globalization", "global harmony" captures many of our shared
ideals concerning the relationships among countries, cultures,
and legal systems, as well as between human kind and nature. By
proposing to examine the role of the rule of law in promoting
global harmony, the hosts of the 24th IVR World Congress hope
not only to give greater voice to traditions and contemporary
thinking in non-western cultures, but also to suggest new
dimensions of collaboration among eastern and western scholars.
