Arindam Chakrabarti and Ralph Weber, in their inspirational Introduction and Afterword, present a defining manifesto for a borderless new philosophy. These documents powerfully describe the hope, vitality, and promise of comparative philosophy as a prelude to philosophys post-comparative future. Every philosopher has a duty to study them. -- Jonardon Ganeri, Professor of Philosophy, New York University, USA The volume draws together scholars working in a variety of traditions, and offers a clear expression of what comparative philosophy can contribute to contemporary philosophical discourse. The individual essays show us what can be achieved when cultural, historical and disciplinary boundaries while respected, are not treated as straightjackets. The editors have made a signal contribution by their effort! -- Hui-chieh Loy, Associate Professor of Philosophy, National University of Singapore Despite the title, the project undertaken here is not about comparative philosophy, at any rate not in the sense in which that label is usually understood. Rather, it is about philosophy without any borders, and it not only describes such ways but also demonstrates them in a fascinating way. -- Franz Martin Wimmer, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, University of Vienna, Austria This sense of belonging, transcending but not damaging the local, is much needed in today's philosophical discourse. The editors' careful work in the formation of this anthology, aided by its impressive papers, powerfully reminds us that philosophy as a global tradition in its contemporary manifestation has an important role to play in the constitution and normalization of such a cosmopolitan ethos. -- Saranindranath Tagore, National University of Singapore, Singapore * Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews * [ An] outstanding and groundbreaking anthology that is also a prolegomena to all future philosophy, not just comparative philosophy. The anthology sets forward an agenda that is arguably the next step for philosophy this excellent anthology comes out at a time when many young philosophers are desperate to engage the model proposed by Chakrabarti and Weber. * Philosophy East and West *
