“…Understanding just what Comparative Philosophy and dialogue between Chinese and Western Philosophy should be is the subject of a substantial body of ongoing scholarly reflection (e.g., Balslev, 1997;Deutsch, 1991;Krishna, 1988;Kupperman 2002;Larson and Deutsch, 1988;Masson-Oursel & McCarthy, 1951;Mou 2010;Mou and Tieszen, 2013;Neville, 2001;Ni, 2006;Rosemont, 2015;Shen, 2003;Struhl, 2010;Weber, 2013;Wong, 1989). Generally speaking, there is a broad agreement that this approach does not lead toward the creation of a synthesis of philosophical traditions and certainly not to a simple setting of one position alongside another with no critical engagement.…”

We are pleased to provide two explorations on the topic of dialogue in Chinese philosophy. In this paper, we consider the educational and theoretical dialogues in China resulting from the encounter between Chinese and Western philosophy down to the present. We consider how this conversation began and how it has evolved into what has become a robust discipline of scholarship and teaching known as Comparative Philosophy in both China and the West. In the next paper, we will focus specifically on dialogues in the historical stream of Chinese philosophy as these occurred within education in China itself, including the nature of some of the most influential discussions and institutions in which these occurred.

“…Here, two distinct traditions of knowledge confront a similar problem but approach it along different lines and with different purposes. To appreciate these differences could only enrich the parties involved insofar as it provides alternative possibilities in philosophical reflection and therefore allows for a dialogue free from the conceptual constraints of specific traditions (Krishna 1988, 83).…”

In the last decades, several rapprochements have been made between quantum physics and the Advaita Vedānta (AV) school of Hinduism. Theoretical issues such as the role of the observer in measurement and physical interconnectedness have been associated with tenets of AV, generating various critical responses. In this study, I propose to address this encounter in the light of recent works on philosophical implications of quantum physics by the physicist and philosopher of science Bernard d'Espagnat.The relatively recent encounter between quantum physics and Advaita Vedānta (AV) has given rise to a number of interesting debates over the last couple of years. Several proposals for dialogue and integration have been put forth, generating various critical responses. This study is an attempt to address, and in a sense reassess, this encounter in the light of recent works on philosophical implications of quantum physics by the theoretical physicist and philosopher of science Bernard d'Espagnat.The Vedāntic tradition has its roots in the Hindu tradition of India, and stands as one of its most sophisticated philosophical and theological developments. It has greatly influenced Indian religious and philosophical schools throughout history and continues to attract a significant following all over the world. AV is the oldest extant school of Vedānta, and its foremost teacher wasŚaṅkara, a philosopher who lived in India around the seventh-eighth century C.E. Like other Vedānta schools, AV is drawn primarily from the Upanis . ads, a group of philosophical texts considered to be an early source of Hindu religion. The term advaita means "nondual," and thus AV holds the view that distinctions between things, individuals, Jonathan Duquette is a postdoctoral fellow in

“…Wiredu (1996) warns that the asymmetry can lead to intellectual colonisation, in which the original meaning and understanding is completely erased and replaced by the colonial philosophical framework; an idea that bares striking similarities to misrecognition or misrepresentation as an aspect of energy justice, perhaps. What is more, this trend of one-sidedness is particularly disconcerting given that scholars such a Krishna (1988) have evidenced that the achievements in various fields within several cultures paralleled those in the West, so that they could not be regarded as inferior in any way.…”

Energy Justice Across Borders

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Our energy systems are truly international, and yet even now, our energy policies tend to be grounded at the national level and in many instances, remain illequipped to tackle transboundary energy issues. Our energy policy systems are also largely detached from the concerns of ethics or justice. It follows that we must find new and innovative ways of not conceptualising these normative issues, but of operationalising response to them. This book stems from the emergent gap: the need for comparative approaches to energy justice, and for those that consider non-Western ethical traditions. Opening the edited volume, this chapter begins by giving context to the concept of "energy justice" itself and outlines our comparative philosophical approach to it, focusing specifically on "global philosophy" for its role in dialectically engaging with philosophies from around the world. We then show how the different chapters of the volume contribute to this purpose in four parts: setting the scene, practice, applying theory to practice and theoretical approaches. The final section of this chapter concludes with reflections on the contribution of global philosophy approaches to energy justice as with a set of future research recommendations. Through these recommendations, and all of those within, we position the book as one that contributes to energy justice scholarship across borders of nations, borders of ways of thinking and borders of disciplines.
