16 September 2014, AUC Logic Guest Lectures, Prof. Dr. Fenrong Liu
Do Chinese and Westerners think and reason very differently, or do we think alike after all? How has communication between us been possible throughout history? In her talk Prof. Dr. Fenrong Liu of the University of Amsterdam and Tsinghua University will take the logical stance, introduce Chinese ancient logic, and explain how this indigenous tradition engaged with Western ideas from the 17th century onward. Prof. Dr. Fenrong Liu will illustrate how we can discuss the similarities and differences between our two traditions in a meaningful way.
