Description

A one-of-a kind introduction to inclusive philosophical practice, this short guide shows how we can effectively bring different philosophies together. Drawing on a variety of African, Asian, European, Indigenous, and Islamicate traditions, it explores how thinkers both historical and contemporary have tackled fundamental questions such as: How do we understand ourselves and our relations to others? How do we understand our worlds? How do we seek knowledge, share knowledge, and, importantly, resist the norms of received knowledge when needed? Here are the background, guidance, and tools you need for studying and engaging the diversity of the world's philosophical traditions. Book jacket.
