Off to Guangzhou

The primary purpose of this site seems to be travel announcements, so rather than break the trend, I’ll post another travel announcement. On Sunday, I’m off to the Institute of Logic and Cognition at Sun Yat-Sen University, to give three lectures on my research. This is my first trip to China, so I’m more excited (and more nervous) than usual for an overseas trip.

Thought
Philosophy aims at the logical clarification of thoughts. Philosophy is not a body of doctrine but an activity. A philosophical work consists essentially of elucidations. Philosophy does not result in ‘philosophical propositions’, but rather in the clarification of propositions. Without philosophy thoughts are, as it were, cloudy and indistinct: its task is to make them clear and to give them sharp boundaries.
