Du Gangjian

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Du Gangjian (Chinese: 杜钢建; pinyin: Dù Gāngjiàn; born August 1956) is a Chinese legal scholar and a representative figure of New Confucianism in mainland China.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

Education and career

[edit]

Du Gangjian was born in Hefei, Anhui in 1956. He received his B.A degree from Anhui Normal University in 1979[8] and Master of Law degree from Renmin University of China Department of Law in 1982.[8]

After graduation, Du joined the faculty of Renmin University of China Department of Law.[8] He was a professor at National School of Administration from 1997 to 2004.[8] He became the Chief Professor (首席教授) of Shantou University Law School in 2004 and was appointed the Dean of Shantou University Law School in March 2007.[9] He left Shantou University and joined the faculty of Hunan University Law School in 2009, and was the dean of the school from 2010 to 2015.[8]

Du was selected as one of 2003 Top Ten Opinion Leaders by Caijing Shibao (财经时报), a Chinese newspaper,[10] and one of 100 jurists who influenced the process of promoting rule of law in China by China Today in 2017.[11]

Du is the founder of World Civilization Research Association.[12]

Thoughts and research

[edit]

As an advocate of New Confucianism and Confucian constitutionalism, Du is known for his idea that Confucianism can be used as the ideological basis for constitutionalism[13][14][15] and human rights.[2][16][17]

Some of his research, e.g., claiming that American Indians may descend from Hunan,[18][19][20] that some ancestors of Korean and Japanese people came from Hunan,[21] and that Western civilization originated in China,[15][19][20][22] have attracted public attention.
