Intercultural philosophizing has been around for a long time. In the podcast, Elberfeld and Hampe take a closer look at Nishida and Leibniz, for example, and discuss what is needed today to advance intercultural philosophizing. In addition to theoretical engagement with texts, practices such as meditation must also be (re)considered.
