Beginning chronologically, Dr. Crockett will present on “Leibniz’s Writings on China.” Dr. Deitrick will then follow up with a talk on “‘Oriental Philosophy’ in the Writings of Hegel.” Dr. Zhuang then shifts the discussion into the twentieth century, with his presentation, “Betrand Russel’s Romance with China.” Finally, Dr. Brasovan will speak on “Whitehead’s Appropriation of ‘Eastern Asiatic’ Religion.”
