Chinese Philosophy Seminar Series 2022/23

- Export as iCalendar
Location: MS Teams

This Friday (21 October) at 3pm Professor Robin Wang (Loyola Marymount University) will present the paper ¡°Why Yinyang ÒõÑô? A Philosophical Reflection¡±.

Abstract:

The concept of yinyang lies at the heart of Chinese thought and culture for thousands years. The relationship between these two opposing, yet mutually dependent, forces is symbolized in the familiar black and white symbol that has become an icon in popular culture across the world. The real and genuine significance of yinyang is, however, more complex and subtle. This talk will start with the questions: does yinyang offer an alternative for reality/thinking? Can we move from struggle with problems to flow with opportunities? It will discuss six types of yinyang relationship to show a complex, multidimensional framework to explore the variety of human mind and a greater dimension of spatial and temporal reality or entanglement.
