First of all it took me so much time to read this. There were many words that I didn't know. I didn't know what "syllogism" meant so I had to look up the dictionary from the title. It would have been more easier to read if I had more vocabulary.
Chapter 1 was about the difference between ancient Greeks and ancient Chinese. Since there were things that my high school teacher told me before, it was interesting to read it in English (more detailed). While reading chapter 1 , I sometimes felt that Nisbett might have a bias against the Chinese or the Asians. When I started reading it I was assuming that Nisbett would be writing the book in a balanced way. So, I felt that it is a hard thing to not show the bias.
I was surprised that the word "school" comes from a word which means "leisure".
I hope I can have fun in learning.
