The essays are exploratory and experimental in nature and are meant to be a transversal linkage between phenomenology and East Asian philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTransversality is the concept that dispels all ethnocentrisms, including Eurocentrism. In the globalizing world of multiculturalism, Eurocentric universalism falls far short of being universal but simply parochial at the expense of the non-Western world. Transversality is intercultural, interspecific, interdisciplinary, and intersensorial. \u003ci\u003eTransversal Rationality and Intercultural Texts\u003c\/i\u003e means to transform the very way of philosophizing itself by infusing or hybridizing multiple traditions in the history of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLike no other scholar, Jung bridges the gap between Asian and Western cultures. By engaging Western philosophers as diverse as Bacon, Descartes, Heidegger, Hegel, Merleau-Ponty, Derrida, Glissant, Barthes, Fenollosa, McLuhan, and Eastern philosophers such as Wang Yang-ming, Nishida Kitaro, Nishitani Keiji, Watsuji Tetsuro, Nhat Hanh, and Suzuki Daisetz Teitaro, this book marks an unparalleled contribution to comparative philosophy and the study of philosophy itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ohio University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47601985814679,"sku":"9780821419557","price":9268.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780821419557.webp?v=1775010900","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/transversal-rationality-and-intercultural-texts-essays-in-phenomenology-and-comparative-philosophy-9780821419557","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
