East Brain, West Brain

Join the Hanoi Philosophy Forum live on Zoom at www.hpf.rocks/zoom for discussions, talks, Panelist Q&As, music, and more unpacking the psychological differences between easterners and westerners.

In his landmark text "The Geography of Thought," University of Michigan professor Richard Nisbett explores the psychological differences between easterners and westerners. He relates the differences in geography and agricultural practices to the resulting thinking styles of each. Namely, Communalism vs. Individualism, Change vs. Identity, Relationships vs. Categories, and Objects vs. Abstracts.
