Given the rise of globalization and coinciding increase in cultural
clashes among diverse nations, it has become eminently clear to
scholars of political thought that there exists a critical gap in
the knowledge of non-Western philosophies and how Western thought
has been influenced by them. This gap has led to a severely
diminished capacity of both state and nonstate actors to
communicate effectively on a global scale. The political theorists,
area scholars, and intellectual historians gathered here by Takashi
Shogimen and Cary J. Nederman examine the exchange of political
ideas between Europe and Asia from the Middle Ages to the early
twentieth century. They establish the need for comparative
political thought, showing that in order to fully grasp the origins
and achievements of the West, historians of political thought must
incorporate Asian political discourse and ideas into their
understanding. By engaging in comparative studies, this volume
proves the necessity of a cross-disciplinary approach in guiding
the study of the global history of political thought.
