On 24^th September 2018, the Komar Research Center (KRC) at Komar University of Science and Technology (KUST)  held an academic seminar titled “Western Culture: Logocentrism” for the Asst. Prof. Dr. Zanyar Faiq Saeed. In the seminar, Saeed explained the western metaphysical philosophy from Plato to the AD 19^th century. He shed light on the ontological paradigm that sees existence as being dichotomous, i.e., that being consists of two realms, a metaphysical realm that is perfect and a physical one that is imperfect. By providing examples, he elucidated how this belief had shaped the western mentality for over two millennia. It is worth mentioning that a good number of people including KUST’s President, Prof. Dr. Salahalddin Saeed, faculty members, staff and students from the University and from outside attended the seminar.
