Fostering Human Security Through Chinese Philosophy and Cross-Cultural Education

This article argues that Chinese philosophy offers vital insights into fostering cultural understanding, ethical reflection, and personal development in an increasingly globalized world. Drawing on Confucianism, Daoist philosophy, Chinese Buddhist philosophy, and the Book of Changes, it explores how these traditions can be revitalized in the context of contemporary education—particularly within Western universities. The article also highlights how these traditions, adapted to modern contexts, contribute to human security, well-being, and sustainability through cross-cultural dialogue, bilingual education, and integrative pedagogy. By promoting mutual learning, Chinese philosophy serves as a form of cultural soft power, addressing global challenges and fostering shared values in diverse educational settings.
