But what exactly does ‘intercultural’ mean? What distinguishes ‘intercultural philosophizing’ from simple ‘philosophizing’? And should intercultural philosophizing today also be decolonial, that is, should the influence of colonial and oppressive histories on ‘Western’ philosophizing be included?

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.

Andrew Hui is working on a project entitled: “Confucius the Stoic: The Encounter between Western and Chinese Philosophy in the Age of Matteo Ricci”. The title suggests that Andrew can help us shed light on very early forms of cross-cultural wisdom exchange and also dispel some of the preconceptions associated with Jesuit missionary work.
