Description for An Introduction to Comparative Philosophy: A Travel Guide to Philosophical Space
Hardback. This text centres on the assumption that there are aspects of thinking common to all traditions. The author offers a comparative introduction to important East/West philosophical questions and positions, and explores "philosophizing" as expressed, for example, in presuppositions. Num Pages: 238 pages, biography. BIC Classification: HPC; HPD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 216 x 140 x 23. Weight in Grams: 460.
This original and accessible text is more than an introduction to comparative philosophy in the East and West. It is also a guide to 'philosophizing' as a thinking process. In addition to outlining the presuppositions of different traditions, it discusses their methods and techniques for reasoning in what the author calls four dimensions of 'philosophical space': object, subject, the situational and the aspective/perspective dimension.
