      <title>The Reading Mind: Practices of Annotation and the Historiography of Medieval Philosophy</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Date
14 January 2026

Abstract

Traditional Chinese philosophy is not genetically related to Greek traditions. Therefore, it has to be clarified first what can be considered philosophy in the Chinese context. Second, unlike circum-Mediterranean traditions, the early spread of printing led to an almost complete loss of (paper!) manuscripts before the eleventh century. As a rule, we do not have manuscripts of the ‘works’ appearing in the schoolbooks for the period under investigation. The only noteworthy exception consists of some calligraphic pieces, but these are extremely rare for the first centuries of the ‘print age’, requiring a particularly cautious reflection. Following these preliminary reflections, the sources for writing and philosophising of the Neo-Confucian philosophers will be presented and discussed, paying special attention to the goal of their intellectual activity and the status of writing and written objects in their thought

Professor Michael Friedrich earned his Ph.D. in 1984 and his habilitation in Sinology in 1990 at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. From 1994 to 2021, he held the Chair of Chinese Language and Culture at the University of Hamburg. His academic interests focus on Chinese intellectual history, including early Chinese Buddhist thought, Chinese and comparative manuscript studies, and the European reception of

      <title>Roundtable Discussion: World Philosophies, Materiality, and Challenging the Canon</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Roundtable Discussion: World Philosophies, Materiality, and Challenging the Canon
Sabrina Ebbersmeyer (University of Copenhagen), Monika Kirloskar-Steinbach (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam), Mariken Teeuwen (Leiden University), Moderator: Yoav Meyrav (University of Hamburg)

The HEPMASITE project would like to invite you to the second part of its lecture series "Philosophy by Hand" which takes place between November 2025 and July 2026.

Building on the experience of the first part of the lecture series "Philosophy by Hand," the second part aims at widening the theoretical and geographical scope by adopting a more global perspective and deepening methodological questions. The focus of the series will continue to be the interaction between manuscript cultures and philosophical thought and will include a wider number of traditions and languages.
