Wisdom and Philosophy: Contemporary and Comparative Approaches
questions the nature of the relationship between wisdom and
philosophy from an intercultural perspective. Bringing together an
international mix of respected philosophers, this volume discusses
similarities and differences of Western and Asian pursuits of
wisdom and reflects on attempts to combine them. Contributors cover
topics such as Confucian ethics, the acquisition of wisdom in
pre-Qin literature and anecdotes of stupidity in the classical
Chinese tradition, while also addressing contemporary topics such
as global Buddhism and analytic metaphysics. Providing original
examples of comparative philosophy, contributors look at ideas and
arguments of thinkers such as Confucius, Zhuangzi and Zhu Xi
alongside the work of Aristotle, Plato and Heidegger. Presenting
Asian perspectives on philosophy as practical wisdom, Wisdom and
Philosophy is a rare intercultural inquiry into the relation
between wisdom and philosophy. It provides new ways of
understanding how wisdom connects to philosophy and underlines the
need to reintroduce it into philosophy today.
