ToC, Issue 4,2, Journal of World Philosophies

Oxford Handbook of World Philosophy, 2011

This book provides a set of introductions to each of the world's major non-European philosophical traditions. It offers the non-specialist a way into unfamiliar philosophical texts and methods and the opportunity to explore non-European philosophical terrain and to connect their work in one tradition to philosophical ideas or texts from another. Sections on Chinese philosophy, Indian philosophy, Buddhist philosophy, East Asian philosophy, African philosophy, and recent trends in global philosophy are each edited by an expert in the field. Each section includes a general introduction and a set of articles written by scholars, designed to provide a broad overview of a major topic or figure.

The papers discussed at the workshop will form part of the inaugural volume for the World Philosophies Series, published by Mimesis International. The Workshop and individual papers will address three main sets of questions intended to provide the focus for the intellectual content of the workshop and which will set the research agenda for future publications: 1. Can a given philosophical tradition - and different historical schools of thought within it - in principle, be considered open towards other traditions? What historical signs/manifestations are there of this openness/dialogue or, perhaps, of closure/hindrance towards other traditions? 2. Are there any methodological tools internal to a given tradition/school of thought which could enhance openness and dialogue towards other traditions? How can these methodologies be developed so as to be more effective? Given the relevance of both ‘religion’ and ‘culture’ in the formation of philosophical traditions/schools of thought, and the clear connection between ‘philosophy, culture and religion’, what contribution have both ‘religion’ and ‘culture’ provided to either the openness or hindrance of them? [The use of local/specific terminology might be appropriate here, for the translation of ‘religion’ and ‘culture’]. 3. Notwithstanding the existential differences within and between traditions and the conflictual power derived from social, historical and political tensions operating in these spheres, can different philosophical traditions build upon their own practices of collective philosophising and mutual philosophical understanding? Could these practices be said to be following patterns of a “shared philosophical methodology”?

Just like the Mahayana Buddhist philosopher Nāgārjuna did almost two thousand years earlier, Lee suggests that Levinas too may have hit upon the insight that genuine subjectivity can be reached through an openness to the Other as the wholly exterior. Throughout the entire book, Jae-Seong Lee shows a strong interest in postmodern ethics, Daoism, Buddhism, theology, and literature, but in the end, he concludes that Buddhist philosophy, with its focus on Emptiness, would be the best approach to a merging of Eastern and Western Ways of thinking in our search for the ultimate and absolute. Finally, Lee suggests that the general philosophical theory he introduces and develops actually works for literary works including the Book of Job, Count Dracula and Frankenstein.
