Laurence Lampert

In the spring of 2015, Lampert was invited by Professor Liu Xiaofeng of Renmin University of China to travel to China for a monthlong tour, during which he lectured at three of China's leading universities: Renmin University of China (Beijing), Zhejiang University (Hangzhou), and Chongqing University (Chongqing). The title of his lecture series, “Strauss, Plato, Nietzsche: Philosophy and Its Poetry,” referred to the three figures in the history of Western philosophy who had been at the center of his research throughout his career. Delivered in English and translated into Chinese, these lectures were published in a combined English and Chinese edition under the title Philosophy and Philosophic Poetry: Strauss, Plato, Nietzsche in 2021 by Huaxia Publishing House in China as part of the Collected Works of Laurence Lampert, edited by Liu Xiaofeng. These lectures appeared in English under the title The Beijing Lectures: Strauss, Plato, Nietzsche, with a new preface published by Paul Dry Books in 2024. =="Nietzsche in the 21st Century"==

Lampert delivered the keynote address at a 2023 conference on "Nietzsche in the 21st Century" held in Białystok, Poland. ==Books==
