SUMMARY:How the Idea of Tianxia Can Help Us to Reimagine the Global Order
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\n\nWith
  the ascent of China on the global stage\, traditional Chinese thoughts\, 
 particularly Confucianism\, have experienced a resurgence. Over the past t
 wo decades\, the concept of “Tianxia” (All Under Heaven) has garnered 
 significant interest. This research delves into the potential contribution
 s of Tianxia to contemporary political thought\, with a focus on normative
  theory. It examines whether this concept can aid in mitigating ultranatio
 nalism in our globalized era and foster a novel global perspective that en
 courages peaceful coexistence\, mutual respect\, and shared progress among
  nations. The presentation is structured into two main sections. The first
  section offers a critical examination of recent discussions surrounding T
 ianxia\, highlighting its contemporary relevance as intellectual inspirati
 ons while acknowledging its inherent limitations. The second section deals
  with the challenges posed by cultural diversity in establishing foundatio
 nal norms for a post-hegemonic world order. It emphasizes the need for a n
 ew global vision that transcends both the Sinocentrism associated with Tia
 nxia and the Eurocentrism prevalent in traditional cosmopolitanism\, and m
 akes an argument in advocating for a new cosmopolitanism centered around t
 he concept of “transcultural universality.”
