Dr. Ellie Anderson, Philosophy professor and cohost of Overthink podcast, sits down with philosopher Dr. Jing Iris Hu to have a conversation about Confucianism and Confucian ethics. They discuss concepts of selfcultivation and interdependence as they inform and shape Confucian accounts of moral life. Ellie and Dr. Hu also dig into questions such as: What is the Confucian tradition, and why is it (or should it be) called "Confucianism" in the first place? How did ancient Confucian women philosopher Ban Zhao theorize social roles, particularly relationships between women, mothersinlaw, and their families? How did concepts of influence and vulnerability shape Confucian ethical and political philosophy?
