The Chinese culture and the Yup'ik and Inupiaq cultures have existed for more than 4,000 years. Given their markedly different environments and contrasting status on the world stage, what dialogue would classical Confucian philosophy have with equally ancient Inupiaq and Yup'ik constructs? What insights emerge when Confucian and Inupiaq/Yup'ik cultures are juxtaposed? These intriguing questions will be the topics for this fascinating event which contrasts classical and traditional world views. Participants are Kristin Helweg-Hanson (Philosophy Dept.),Phyllis Fast (Anthropology Dept.) Josephine Hishon (History student) and Brittany Burns (Philosophy student) This event is sponsored with the UAA Ethics Center and UAA Philosophy Department.
