by Kwok-Ying Lau
Part of the Contributions To Phenomenology series
Hardback
Description
This book approaches the topic of intercultural understanding in philosophy from a phenomenological perspective.
It provides a bridge between Western and Eastern philosophy through in-depth discussion of concepts and doctrines of phenomenology and ancient and contemporary Chinese philosophy.
Phenomenological readings of Daoist and Buddhist philosophies are provided: the reader will find a study of theoretical and methodological issues and innovative readings of traditional Chinese and Indian philosophies from the phenomenological perspective.
The author uses a descriptive rigor to avoid cultural prejudices and provides a non-Eurocentric conception and practice of philosophy.
Through this East-West comparative study, a compelling criticism of a Eurocentric conception of philosophy emerges.
New concepts and methods in intercultural philosophy are proposed through these chapters. Researchers, teachers, post-graduates and students of philosophy will all find this work intriguing, and those with an interest in non-Western philosophy or phenomenology will find it particularly engaging.
