Throughout history, Eastern and Western philosophies have taken different approaches to understanding life, truth, and how we should live. Western philosophy often focuses on logic, reason, and individual freedom, while Eastern traditions emphasize balance, harmony, and seeing ourselves as part of a bigger picture. But are these two ways of thinking really so different? Or do they have more in common than we realize?
In this informal session, we’ll explore questions like:

* Does the Western focus on reason and debate give us a clearer picture of reality?
* Does Eastern wisdom, with its ideas of balance and acceptance, offer a better way to live?
* Can we combine insights from both to create a more complete understanding of the world?

We'll also delve into concepts like rationalism vs. intuition, dualism vs. non-dualism, individualism vs. collectivism, and how these ideas shape the way we live and think. Whether you’re well-versed in philosophy or just curious about different ways of understanding the world, this session will offer plenty of food for thought.
