Conference on Eastern and
Western Philosophy
CUNY
12/4 - 12/5
Free
At one time,
there was lively dialogue between
Western and Eastern philosophy.
Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and William
James were strongly influenced by
Eastern philosophy. But, during
recent years, Western philosophy has
shown much less respect for the East
than previous and there seems less
awareness that issues like
epistemology, time, and selfhood
have been addressed very
intelligently in the East.
The purpose of the conference is to
reinvigorate the dialog between
Eastern and Western philosophy
(philosophy as distinct from
religion), and a galaxy of brilliant
speakers from all over the globe
have agreed to participate.
