The Center for Comparative Philosophy & Global Asia Initiative Joint Reading Workshop
Non-Dualistic Logic in Nishida Kitarō’s “Logic and Life“
Time: 12:00 – 14:00 Thursday Sept 22nd
Location: West Duke 204
** The Center for Comparative Philosophy will provide a light lunch for the workshop. The room will open from 12:00 for people to serve themselves and take a seat.
Nishida, Kitarō (1870-1945) is a twentieth-century Japanese philosopher. Influenced by Fichte and Hegel, Nishida’s philosophical work is often compared with Lebensphilosophie [philosophy of life], the intellectual trend that came on the scene around the turn of the 20th century. In this reading workshop, we will read and discuss the first few sections of “Logic and Life” (1936), in which Nishida talks about the origin of logic based on his non-dualism.
