SUMMARY:Border-Crossing Ethics Textbooks in Late-Nineteenth and Early-Twent
 ieth Century East Asia
DESCRIPTION:\n	Prof. Nguyen Nam (Vietnam National University - Ho Chi Minh
  City\; Vietnam Center\, Loyola University Chicago\; Associate\, Harvard-Y
 enching Institute)\n\n	Chair: Prof. Elizabeth Perry (Harvard University/Ha
 rvard-Yenching Institute)\n\n	 \n\n\n	Recent changes in the United States
  and around the world\, together with Japan’s decision to make its tradi
 tional ethics a formal school subject beginning in 2018 reconfirm the need
  of ethics\, the universality of ethical values\, and locality of ethical 
 practices in specific socio-cultural and political contexts.  This talk p
 resents a preliminary survey of how ethics as a branch of knowledge from t
 he West was introduced to Japan and became part of the nation-building pro
 cess of the country in late 19th century with the blooming of ethics textb
 ooks.  It also examines what made the transnational/transcultural journey
  of one of those textbooks possible through the case of Chūgaku rinrisho 
 and its transformations in China and Vietnam. \n\n	 \n\n	About the speak
