MACWP was established in January 2022 by a group of USJ Philosophy Alumni, including: Joshua Yuan, Maggie Chiang, Terence Hun, Waison Lei and Chon Lai. The Association aims to bring together the essence of Chinese and Western thought, to promote in-depth exchange of diverse cultures, and to foster philosophical reflection among the population. The association will contribute to the harmonious development of Macao as a base for exchange and cooperation with the Chinese mainstream culture in co-existence with multiple other cultures and ways of thinking.
