Comparative philosophy is an important site for the study of
non-Western philosophical traditions, but it has long been
associated with "East-West" dialogue. Comparative Studies in Asian
and Latin American Philosophies shifts this trajectory to focus on
cross-cultural conversations across Asia and Latin America. A team
of international contributors discuss subjects ranging from
Orientalism in early Latin American studies of Asian thought to
liberatory politics in today's globalized world. They bring
together resources including Latin American feminism, Aztec
teachings on ethics, Buddhist critiques of essentialism, and
Confucian morality. Chapters address topics such as educational
reform, the social practices surrounding breastfeeding, martial
arts as political resistance, and the construction of race and
identity. Together the essays reflect the philosophical diversity
of Asia and Latin America while foregrounding their shared concerns
on issues of Eurocentrism and coloniality. By bringing these
critical perspectives to bear on the theories and methods of
cross-cultural philosophy, Comparative Studies in Asian and Latin
American Philosophies offers new insights into the nature and
practice of philosophical comparison.
