Addressing arguments that comparative philosophy is itself impossible, or that

it is indistinguishable from philosophy more generally, this collection challenges

myopic understandings of comparative method and encourages a more

informed consideration.

Bringing together a wide variety of methodological options, it features scholars

spread across the globe representing multiple philosophical traditions. From

the beginnings of comparative philosophy in the 19th century to present-day

proposals for more global philosophy departments, every chapter serves as a

viable methodological alternative for any would-be philosophical comparativist.

With contributions from leading comparativists that are both distinctive in their

method and explicit about its application, this valuable resource challenges

and enriches the awareness and sensitivity of the beginning comparativist and

seasoned veteran alike.

Reviews for Comparative Philosophy and Method: Contemporary Practices and Future Possibilities

One of the great advantages of comparative philosophy, is that it allows multiple perspectives to inform our thought. One of the great advantages of this volume is that it brings multiple perspectives to bear on comparative philosophy itself, demonstrating the complexity, the value, and the manifold nature of the comparative approach. * Jay L Garfield FAHA, Doris Silbert Professor in the Humanities, and Professor of Philosophy and Buddhist Studies, Smith College and the Harvard Divinity School, USA *
