Chap:1 The Syllogism and The Tao

First I did the Three B's that Rab told us to do.
I couldn't get much idea of Richard E. Nisbett or his bias so I just started reading his book.
Starting with the introduction, he said he was influenced by a brilliant student from China.
So I thought Nisbett may support more on Chinese culture of life shared within a harmonious social network than Greeks individuality.
But what I found was different. Although he puts many good examples for each East and West, II felt that the words Nisbett use has a bias.
Do you guys remember the video that Rab showed us the other day? About BBC news using kidnap.
In chapter 1, I found Nisbett is using "lack of" and "failure" for Chinese and never used that kind of word for the Greeks.
Or did I just miss those kinds of words for the Greeks?

I got the point that Chinese (Asians) and Greeks(Westerners) have a different way of thinking because of its culture. They both have good and bad points but what I liked was the ancient Chinese story about an old farmer whose only horse ran away.



The bottom line is, this book makes me very sleepy....zzzZZZ
Gotta read chapter 2!!!
