Cultivating personhood

Meer over het boek

Authors from around the globe collaborate to foster dialogue between Asian and Western philosophy, creating a new comparative path in Kant studies. Central to this exploration is the concept of personhood, which serves as a foundation for discussing knowledge acquisition, education, ethics, self-identity, religious and political community building, and cross-cultural understanding. Edited by Stephen Palmquist, a prominent Kant scholar and advocate for philosophical dialogue, the book features selected and revised papers from the inaugural Kant Congress held in Hong Kong in May 2009. Contributors include Patricia Kitcher (USA), Günther Wohlfahrt (Germany), Cheng Chung-ying (USA), Sammy Xie Xia-ling (China), Lau Chong-fuk (Hong Kong), Anita Ho (Canada), Ellen Zhang (Hong Kong), Pong Wen-berng (Taiwan), Simon Xie Shengjian (Australia), Makoto Suzuki (Japan), Kiyoshi Himi (Japan), Park Chan-Goo (South Korea), Chong Chaeh-yun (South Korea), Mohammad Raayat Jahromi (Iran), Mohsen Abhari Javadi (Iran), Soraj Hongladarom (Thailand), Ruchira Majumdar (India), A.
