Other Dates For This Event:


Wednesday, 08 March, 2023

Why do philosophy comparatively and cross-culturally? What are the benefits of thinking outside the box? In this seminar, we will briefly review essential theses of some influential Western thinkers such as Plao, Aristotle, Aquinas, and Kant and then thematically compare them to Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism on topics of self-and-other, virtue, government, gender, and ecology. The purpose of this comparative approachc is to broaden our mental horizon by considering alternative conceptual framewords that can be useful resources for treatment of contemporary, social, political, and environmental problems.
