Description

The meeting of different cultures, philosophies and religions today calls for an intensive and qualified discourse on the part of all concerned. Intercultural Philosophy seeks to develop such a discourse through a new orientation of thought that will allow for a discussion of all philosophical problems from an intercultural perspective. In this important new work, Ram Adhar Mall approaches the study of philosophy from a cross-cultural point of view allowing for fundamental similarities and illuminating differences between cultures. In doing so, he develops a new concept of intercultural philosophy and applies it to various philosophical disciplines.

Reviews

Intercultural philosophy is a new concept, and Mall is one of the first to give it a concrete context. . . . Well-written, systematically expounded . . . Intercultural Philosophy will be a most important book in the field. -- J. N. Mohanty, Temple University
