Chun-chieh Huang

Huang Chun-chieh, born in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, in 1946, is a historian and Confucian scholar whose research centers on East Asian Confucianism, historiography, and general education. He earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in history from National Taiwan University and later received his doctorate from the University of Washington in the United States. A distinguished chair professor at National Taiwan University and an elected member of the European Academy, he has written extensively on the transmission and transformation of Confucianism in East Asia, an approach reflected in works such as East Asia from the Perspective of Intellectual History. He has also reflected on the place of university education, as seen in General Education in Universities in the Age of Globalization; the inclusion of a practical legal guide on labor and employment issues shows his writing reaches across social culture, education, and law.
