| New Wave from Kyoto University! |
| "masterminds" symposium |
|
Organized by Dr Karl Acham, professor
of sociology at Karl-Franzens Universitat Graz, the "masterminds"
series of international seminars was held throughout the year to
discuss globalization from multiple angles.
As multiple cultures become complexly intertwined, the homogenization
of the world is subjecting religious, ethical and artistic values
to fundamental transformation, and Graz, the regional Austrian city
selected as Cultural Capital of Europe, is no exception. Researchers
from around the world in sociology, religious studies, philosophy
and associated fields gathered in Graz to discuss these values from
European and non-European points of view.
Joining them from Japan was Kyoto University professor Dr Tadashi
Ogawa. Dr Ogawa's presentation titled "Are there ethical universals
in the West and the East?" provided participants with multiple
openings onto these themes and is expected to lead to greater understanding
of Japanese and other Asian cultures.
