The book argues that Plato’s critique of tyranny[...]

Spontaneous Arising and an Ethics of Creativity in Early Daoism, Erica Brindley (Penn State) @ Columbia University Religion Dept. 101
Nov 2 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
In the early part of the 20th century, Joseph Needham formulated a substantial claim concerning the Chinese predilection for self-generated creation rather than creator gods and myths. Half a century later, scholars working in the West like Frederick Mote, Derk Bodde, and Chang Kwang-chih picked up on Needham’s insight to discuss the so-called lack of a “creation myth” in early Chinese culture, basing their arguments on what they called the “inner necessity” or “spontaneously self-generating”[...]

Can the Vaiśeṣika Individuate Universals? David Nowakowski (Union) 5:30 pm
Can the Vaiśeṣika Individuate Universals? David Nowakowski (Union) @ Columbia University Religion Dept. 101
Nov 30 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
The Vaiśeṣika school of Indian philosophy is known for its distinctive doctrine of “individuators” (viśeṣāḥ), by means of which the various entities of the mundane world—substances, qualities, and motions—can be distinguished as unique individuals on purely formal grounds. As straightforward as the account is for these entities, the problem of individuation becomes much more complicated for universals. This paper uses the question “Can the Vaiśeṣika individuate universals?” to explore the next three categories in the[...]
