Dr. Daniel Breyer: Cross-Cultural Philosophy as a Great Conversation

Date: Monday, July 1
Time: 4:15 p.m. MT
Location: Junior Commons Room, Pritzker Student Center
Speaker: Dr. Daniel Breyer, Professor of Philosophy, Illinois State University
Description: In this talk, I’ll explore the nature of cross-cultural philosophy, contrasting it with superficially similar approaches to doing philosophy (like comparative philosophy, intellectual history, and world philosophy) and making the case that we should view cross-cultural philosophy as a great conversation. To make that case, I’ll also explore a few different ways of thinking about what philosophical conversations are and what might make them great.
