Doing Philosophy Comparatively: Foundations, Problems, and Methods of Cross-Cultural Inquiry

What standards should we use to evaluate culturally distinct philosophies? Is language a barrier in our attempts to understand other traditions? How do we avoid our comparisons being biased or generalized?

Doing Philosophy Comparatively answers these questions by providing a thorough overview of the methodology involved in extending philosophy across linguistic and cultural boundaries.

Now revised and updated to showcase the most recent developments in the field, this second edition engages with philosophies beyond the Anglo-European tradition and features:

- A wider variety of comparative examples from Chinese, Indian, African, and Islamic traditions
- New sections on Exclusionism, Non-Western Approaches to Consensus and Fusion Philosophy
- Focused exercises for each chapter demonstrating how to interact meaningfully with primary texts
- Updated discussion questions and suggested reading

Introducing the main problems, methods, and approaches of comparative philosophy, this new edition shows you how to make informed cross-cultural judgments through reflection and practice. It remains an essential toolkit for the practice of doing comparative philosophy.
