The 21st century needs this timely cross-cultural reinvention of philosophers, dead and alive, in fiction and lived experience, for deep thought and everyday dialogue in the Anthropocene. * Candice Goucher, Professor Emerita of History, Washington State University, USA * Finding Philosophers in Global Fiction presents a conceptual multi-perspectivity: it is cross-cultural, articulating works from Indian, Japanese, various European and American contexts; it is multidisciplinary, analysing literary texts and films; and it pays attention to various philosophical streams, ranging from classical Indian or Greek philosophy and Neo-Confucianism to more modern schools of thought, such as existentialism, post-structuralism or post-humanism. This is an original and impressive collection, bringing new approaches to challenging questions about the mutual influences on literature and philosophy. * Blanka Knotková-Capková, Associate Professor of Asian Studies, Metropolitan University Prague, Czech Republic *
