Freedom to Know: Creating Community with Ambedkar, du Bois, Iqbal, Ramabai and Tagore
Pandita Ramabai, Epistemic Discrimination and Being Counted as a Knower
Dialogue and Decolonization: Historical, Philosophical, and Political Perspectives
By bringing together philosophers whose work on political philosophy, intellectual history, and world philosophies pushes the boundaries of conventional scholarship, this collaborative collection opens up space in political philosophy for new approaches. Garrick Cooper, Sudipta Kaviraj, Charles W. Mills, and Sor-hoon Tan respond to the challenges James Tully raises for comparative political thought. Arranged around Tully's opening chapter, they d…
African Philosophy and Enactivist Cognition: The Space of Thought
"Using classic texts in African philosophy, Bruce B. Janz applies the strand of cognitive science known as enactivism to realise new connections and intersections between both fields. The idea that cognition is embodied and embedded in a social world neatly maps onto specifically African epistemologies to outline a new direction of study on what philosophy is. By working through a rich range of texts and thinkers, Janz provides a fruitful new int…
The End of the Dream: Postmodernism and Qualitative Research
This article revisits the use of postmodernist theory in qualitative research in education and related fields, where such ideas remain consigned to the “fringe”—or worse. What are the grounds for this ongoing refusal of “postmodernism”? How is postmodernism useful in our research and teaching? In this article, four senior women academics of various backgrounds, one or more of us identifying as Indigenous, Immigrant, White, Colored, monolingual, b…
Andean Aesthetics and Anticolonial Resistance: A Cosmology of Unsociable Bodies
Informed by Gloria Anzaldúa’s and José Carlos Mariátegui’s work, as well as by Andean cosmology, Omar Rivera turns to Inka stonework and architecture as an example of a “Cosmological Aesthetics.” He articulates ways of sensing, feeling and remembering that are attuned to an aesthetic of water, earth and light. On this basis, Rivera brings forth a corporeal orientation that can be inhabited by the oppressed, one that withdraws from predominant mod…
Indian and Intercultural Philosophy: Personhood, Consciousness, and Causality
For over twenty years Douglas Berger has advanced research and reflection on Indian philosophical traditions from both classical and cross-cultural perspectives. This volume reveals the extent of his contribution by bringing together his perspectives on these classical Indian philosophies and placing them in conversation with Confucian, Chinese Buddhist and medieval Indian Sufi traditions. Delving into debates between Nyaya and Buddhist philosoph…
Daya Krishna and Twentieth-Century Indian Philosophy: A New Way of Thinking about Art, Freedom, and Knowledge
"Daya Krishna and Twentieth-Century Indian Philosophy introduces contemporary Indian philosophy as a unique philosophical genre through the writings of one its most significant exponents, Daya Krishna (1924-2007). It surveys Daya Krishna's main intellectual projects: rereading classical Indian sources anew, his famous Samvad Project, and his ardent attempt to formulate a social and political theory that can better fit India's needs and challenges…
A Practical Guide to World Philosophies: Selves, Worlds, and Ways of Knowing
Traditions throughout the world and across history have tackled fundamental questions about the human condition. This one-of-a-kind guide shows how these different philosophies can be effectively studied together. Monika Kirloskar-Steinbach’s and Leah Kalmanson's introduction marks a break from conventional approaches. Instead of assuming philosophy has always operated with a single, easily identifiable conceptual framework across space and time,…
Environmental Ethics: Cross-cultural Explorations
The volume »Environmental Ethics: Cross-cultural Explorations« places cross-cultural study at the center of inquiry. The cross-culturally rich explorations collected in this volume seek to critically examine some theoretical assumptions driving current debates in the field like anthropocentrism, individualism etc. In addition, they also endeavor to develop an integrative approach which can better channel ways in which current global challenges to…
Refusing the 'Foolish Wisdom of Resignation: Kaupapa Māori in conversation with Adorno
Drawing on select works of Adorno, we will first rehearse his reasons for a rejuvenation of philosophy and apply them to philosophers working on world philosophical traditions. We will then analyse Adorno's arguments pertaining to the theory-praxis relation to ascertain whether his thought could accommodate a study of world philosophical traditions for the simple reason that they are present in a particular society. Shifting our focus slightly, w…
Diversifying philosophy: The art of non-domination
Using the example of cross-cultural philosophy’s relation to disciplinary philosophy, this article seeks to think through some of the issues relevant to diversifying philosophy as an academic discipline. Guided by James Tully’s ruminations on non-domination, it attempts to make a case for a practice of philosophy which is more attuned to its social situatedness in a postindustrial, liberal society. Within this context, it argues that disciplinary…
Introducing Confluence: A Thematic Essay
In the following thematic introduction, we seek to situate Confluence within the field of comparative philosophy and substantiate why we deem a new publication necessary. For this purpose, we reconstruct the salient stages in the development of comparative philosophy in Section I, and then proceed to expound the rationale underlying Confluence in Section II. Our reconstruction of these stages pursues an exploratory rather than a documentary appro…

Gibt es ein Menschenrecht auf Immigration?: Politische und philosophische Positionen zur Einwanderungsproblematik
In Zeiten der Globalisierung werden die Grenzen von Nationalstaaten durch Migration von Fremden zunehmend durchlässig. Dennoch genießt die Immigrationsproblematik in der Politischen Philosophie bis dato ein Schattendasein. Das Buch widmet sich genau dieser Problemstellung. Im ersten Teil geht es der Frage nach, wie die Einwanderungsdebatte in der öffentlichen Sphäre Deutschlands geführt wird. Dies wird anhand von politischen Auseinandersetzungen …
Toleration in Modern Liberal Discourse with Special Reference to Radhakrishnan's Tolerant Hinduism
Liberal Nationalism – A Critique
Today, political philosophy is witness to liberal justifications of nationalism. Liberal nationalists regard nationalism as a fundamental good which is instrumental in forming individual identity. They argue that liberals should not dismiss nationalism as a primitive, tribal urge but instead learn from it. In fact the sense of belongingness and relatedness which is so constitutive of nationalism could help counteract liberal maladies. Liberal nat…
