Recenzii

An excellent starting point for anyone interested in the field of comparative philosophy [...] Tim Connolly has established a benchmark for the study of comparative philosophy [...] by offering a clear summary of the key issues and by providing a platform for nurturing future philosophers to think beyond their localized perspectives.
The author faces the topics [in this book] in a concise but thought-provoking manner ... [and] outlines the discipline in an exciting way ... [A] vibrant introduction to comparative philosophy.
In this well-written, jargon-free textbook, Connolly sensitively addresses the worthiness and significance of comparative philosophy while also acknowledging the difficulties that arise from a comparative approach [.] Each of the 11 chapters concludes with rich suggested readings and discussion questions that will serve well in classroom settings. This volume marks an extraordinary step forward in comparative philosophy, and this reviewer knows of no better guidebook. An invaluable resource for those pursuing a career in comparative philosophy. Summing Up: Highly recommended.
This book's well-argued defense of comparative philosophy and illuminating discussions of its challenges and problems, as well as different comparative approaches, will provide invaluable resources for teaching and learning how to philosophize across cultural boundaries. Students will find the chapter-by-chapter exercises added to this new edition particularly helpful.
This book's lucid organization, engaging and accessible prose, and balanced presentation of competing views makes it the ideal introduction to comparative philosophy.
An excellent introduction to comparative philosophy, but it also serves as a wonderful pedagogical tool for a research and methods course. The text is clear, well-organized, and most importantly philosophically interesting.
