The article discusses a lecture by Eric Hutton at the University of Utah, exploring the transformation of Plato's ideas on justice during the late 19th and early 20th centuries when ancient Greek philosophy was introduced to China. Hutton focuses on how certain claims about injustice in Plato's works were reinterpreted through the Chinese lens, offering a fresh perspective that highlights aspects of justice in Plato's philosophy that are often overlooked. This analysis not only illustrates the cultural exchange of ideas but also critiques the limitations of Plato's original framework in explaining justice effectively.
The late 19th to early 20th century marked a significant transition of Greek philosophical concepts into China, with many publications introducing Plato's ideas.
This presentation will examine the adaptations of Plato's views on injustice within a Chinese context, illustrating the transformation of his philosophical claims.
