OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Max Weber was one of the very few to integrally work through Chinese thought on the one hand and empirical Chinese society on the other. To link as it were the transcendental and the empirical. The transcendental of Daoism on the one hand and the empirical of Confucianism on the other. The wuming on the one hand and the zhengming. And probably the most penetrating juxtaposition of the West on the one hand and China on the other. The Western trinity of creation, revelation and redemption, on the one hand, and China where there is neither Creation nor redemption but which is ‘trapped in an infinity’.
