Identity as Contested Space: A Canadian Vantage on an Epistemological Challenge

Abstract Based on archival material and interviews, the paper argues that the autonomy of Hong Kong's institutions of higher education has varied since 1911, with the colonial state initially exercising tight control and relaxing it especially as the transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong approached. China has sought to reassert control especially since 2014 in what continues to be contested space.

Epistemological Challenge

AbstractIntuitions are widely assumed to play an important evidential role in ethical inquiry.

I argue that this fact illuminates the epistemology of ethical intuitions.
