The objective of the following collected volume is to encourage a
critical reflection on the relationship between "power" and
"non-power" in our contemporary "world" and, proceeding from
various philosophical traditions, to investigate the multifaceted
aspects of this relationship. The authors' respective
investigations proceed from an intercultural perspective and fall
predominantly in the domain of political theory and philosophy.
This volume takes an intercultural political perspective, which
means, on the one hand, involving non-European philosophies in a
global debate about power relations and their effects in the world
and, on the other hand, confronting local traditions of thought
with a global inquiry in order to enter into a
philosophical-political dialogue with these traditions. An
intercultural approach of this type to political philosophy seeks
not only to join others in reflecting upon global problems, but
also to decenter of our understanding of the world, drawing
attention to new ways of thinking. Insofar as the authors of the
planned volume deal with "concrete" philosophical-political
problems unfolding in various regions of the world, they seek to
shed light on burning issues like migration, human rights
violations, dictatorship and language, global poverty, power
asymmetries, experiences of injustice with the further goal of
offering a particularly intercultural analysis of these problems
along with approaches to resolving them. To date, there is no book
that collects various essays from different countries and
perspectives and poses political-philosophical problems from an
intercultural point of view.
