Prof. Roger Ames awarded 2013 Confucius Culture Prize

University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Professor of Philosophy Roger T. Ames was presented with a 2013 Confucius Culture Prize at the Sixth Annual World Confucian Conference in Shandong, China. The prizes are sponsored by the People’s Republic of China Ministry of Culture and the provincial government of Shandong Province—the home province of the sage Confucius.

“Dr. Ames’ scholarly stature internationally is unparalleled, and he is one of our most distinguished humanities faculty,” said Peter Arnade, dean of the UH Mānoa College of Arts and Humanities. “He is perhaps the leading interpreter of classical Chinese philosophy, Confucianism above all. This distinguished award is richly deserved.”
