Comparative Philosophy and Method: Contemporary Practices and Future Possibilities de Steven Burik

Comparative Philosophy and Method: Contemporary Practices and Future Possibilities

Editat de Steven Burik, Robert Smid, Ralph Weber
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 sep 2023
Addressing arguments that comparative philosophy is itself impossible, or that it is indistinguishable from philosophy more generally, this collection challenges myopic understandings of comparative method and encourages a more informed consideration. Bringing together a wide variety of methodological options, it features scholars spread across the globe representing multiple philosophical traditions. From the beginnings of comparative philosophy in the 19th century to present-day proposals for more global philosophy departments, every chapter serves as a viable methodological alternative for any would-be philosophical comparativist. With contributions from leading comparativists that are both distinctive in their method and explicit about its application, this valuable resource challenges and enriches the awareness and sensitivity of the beginning comparativist and seasoned veteran alike.

Recenzii

One of the great advantages of comparative philosophy is that it allows multiple perspectives to inform our thought. One of the great advantages of this volume is that it brings multiple perspectives to bear on comparative philosophy itself, demonstrating the complexity, the value, and the manifold nature of the comparative approach.
A truly illuminating showcase of diverse methodological reflections in comparative philosophy. With contributors from varied philosophical and cultural traditions, this volume will spark rigorous debates and provide a useful guide to methodological concerns in the field.
Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the main challenges of comparative philosophy today and the diverse approaches that philosophers from around the world have developed to meet them.
