About the Lecture

Did you know that cultural norms influence our thought processes, reasoning, and language? Research into human cognition along with linguistic and social studies about culture’s influence on thought, reasoning, and understanding shows us that how we think about and perceive the world is influenced by our social structures, philosophies, and even educational systems, as initially formed in ancient Greece and Asia (China, Japan, Korea).

a. History of Eastern and Western philosophies

b. Examples (e.g. Field/Field-Independent reasoning; abstract analytic pairings/relational-holistic pairings)

c. What we can do with this knowledge.

All interested parties are welcome!
