About

In September 2025, the Center for Logic, Epistemology and History of Science (CLE) at Unicamp will host the XI International Colloquium on Oriental Philosophy, dedicated to the theme "Logics and Oriental Languages". Recognized as one of the main research centers in non-classical and paraconsistent logics, the CLE will be the stage for a unique meeting, bringing together specialists from Brazil and the world to explore the logical-philosophical traditions of the East.
In this edition, the contributions of the following will be presented, in a systematic, academic and unprecedented way:
• Chinese logics of Kong Sunlong and Hui Zi,
• Taoist and Moist logics,
• Indian logics, from Nagarjuna to Chandrakirti,
• And, in particular, Nishida's Logic of Place, the foundation of Contemporary Eastern Philosophy.
The event marks a pioneering effort in Brazil to establish a fruitful dialogue between Eastern and Western logics and languages. One of its main objectives is to introduce Brazilian researchers to the logical and linguistic structures that underlie Eastern philosophies, promoting a critical exchange with Western traditions. In an increasingly interconnected world, this debate becomes urgent and necessary.
With the presence of renowned specialists in oriental philosophy from Brazil, USA, Europe, China, India and Japan, the colloquium will be a milestone in intercultural philosophy in the country.
