哲学院院长郝立新教授主持会议开幕式并发表讲话，他说本次会议是我院配合我校国际化战略的重要步骤之一，今后我们将继续举办一系列以英文为主要工作语言的国际性学术研讨会。

　　2009年“当代哲学北京圆桌会议”（Beijing Roundtable on Contemporary Philosophy）的主题是“当代形上学与中国古典形上学思想之比较”（Contemporary Metaphysics and Metaphysical Thoughts in Classical Chinese Philosophy）。该会议的学术组织方是国际中西哲学比较研究学会 （International Society for Comparative Studies of Chinese and Western Philosophy, ISCWP)，会议的会议主办方是中国人民大学哲学院、国际中国哲学与比较哲学研究中心（International Center for Chinese and Comparative Philosophy, Renmin University of China, Beijing, China），会议由美国加州圣荷塞州立大学比较哲学中心（Center for Comparative Philosophy, San Jose State University, California, USA）协办。

　　来自希腊哲学学会的学者Marianne BENETATOU发言的题目是“Heraclitus and Lao Zi and the Philosophies of Being and Change” 。她比较了赫拉克利特与老子的形上学思想，仔细辨析了老子的道与赫氏的logos之间的区别，进而提出她对中西形上学之区别的理解。

　　我院聂敏里 老师发言题目是《古代性和现代性，还是中国与西方？ ——对中西哲学比较的一个考察》（Antiquity and Modernity, or China and the West?—An Observation about the Comparison between Chinese Metaphysics and Western Metaphysics）。他认为，长期以来，在中西哲学比较中存在着一个极大的思想误区，这就是，无论是进行这一比较的中国学者还是西方学者都不假思索地将中西哲学所表现出来的种种思想上的差别看成是“中国的”和“西方的”两种截然不同的地方性文化在思想上的差别，而全都没有意识到，这种表面看起来是属于文化的地方性的差别实际上却是古今思想的差别，而在任何一种文化比较中都必然会发现的这样或那样的各种地方性的差别实际上却是次要的。

　　美国加州州立大学Northridge 分校的孙卫民的题目是《中国古代的自由概念》（The Conception of Freedom in Ancient China）。他将西方当代哲学中关于自由问题的概念解释资源运用于中国哲学的研究中。他首先讨论了三种自由概念：无限制的、能动的和自由选择的；进而讨论了负与正的自由，负的自由即没有任何外在限制的自由，而正的自由即日常理解的自由；最后，他借用孔子和庄子的自由观来讨论中国哲学中的自由概念与西方当代哲学沟通的可能性。

　　清华大学周允程的题目是Zhuang Zi`s Butterfly Dreaming and the First-Person Issue in Metaphysics。他将“庄周梦蝶”作为一个哲学命题加以解析，主要视为一个形上学问题而非一个认识论问题，仔细讨论了蝴蝶与庄周之间的等同、巧合等问题，试图从分析哲学的角度找到这个哲学谜的解决方案，希望对这一古老哲学命题的解析对当代分析哲学能够有所贡献。

　　美国加州圣荷塞州立大学比较哲学中心的牟博 的题目是A Daoist Thick-Object Account of the Structure of Objects。他受到道家哲学的影响，提出一套关于对象结构的理论，分析其前理论的直觉的理解。他的理论是一种观察事物的整体观，是对认识对象的一种厚物（thick-object）的建构。

　　来自北京大学哲学系的韩林合教授、美国加州圣荷塞州立大学的周克勤JOCHIM, Christian 教授和我院的惟善法师参与了学术讨论。

　　会议组织工作得到了参会学者的一致好评。会后，牟博教授代表国际中西哲学比较研究学会（International Society for Comparative Studies of Chinese and Western Philosophy, ISCWP)向我院院长郝立新教授和外事办公室主任温海明老师表示衷心的感谢，希望将来继续与我院开展合作。
