549. Dr. Dave Wang's Speech on Benjamin Franklin and Confucian Moral Philosophy

I found this Italian poster, showing of Dr. Dave Wang' presentation on Benjamin Franklin and Confucius Moral Philosophy in Rome in 2006. In that year the Center for American Studies, Rome Italy  invited scholars worldwide to deliver speeches on Benjamin Franklin in order to celebrate the 300th year anniversary of Benjamin Franklin' birth. It was very impressive that a scholar introduced in Rome Chinese cultural influence on one of main founders of the United States. At that time Chinese cultural influence on the founding of the United States basically unknown in the world.  A decade has passed since the talk. Based on the fact that more and more colleges and American universities have adopted Dr. Wang's papers in the field, we have reason to believe that the field of Chinese cultural influence on the founding of the United States will become a subject in American studies.
