Presented by Livia Kohn, professor of religion and east Asian studies, Boston University.
A number of important discoveries -- printing, the compass and gunpowder -- were made by the Chinese well ahead of similar developments in the West. As China becomes a major world power again, Americans can benefit from studying China especially the concepts underlying its language, medicine and society.
Professor Kohn, a noted scholar of Chinese long-life practices and Daoism with more than 20 books in the field, will discuss how these concepts can help us see the world in new ways and feel more at home in it.
