Confucius in Cairo - 1935 and 2010

Join us for an insightful session with Fulbright Scholar Michael Hill as he presents 'Confucius in Cairo: 1935 and 2010' in the HUSS Research Seminar Series. Dive into the tale of Chinese Muslim intellectuals at Al-Azhar University in the 1930s and 1940s, exploring the remarkable translation of Confucian Analects into Arabic. This talk sheds light on the intricate history of cultural interactions between China, Egypt, and the Arab world, focusing on the Book of the Sayings of Confucius (Kitāb al-Hiwār li-Kūnfūshīyūs,1935), a translation of the Confucian Analects by Ma Jian (Muḥammad Mākīn al-Ṣīni, 1906-1978) into Arabic.
