| Synopsis: |
The essays collected in this volume represent a major modern venture in cross-cultural interchanges between Western and non-Western philosophers. Selected from papers presented at the 6th East-West Philosophers' Conference, these essays articulate a variety of philosophical perspectives on the themes of modernity and cultural pluralism. The volume opens with analyses of the crisis of modernity, followed by discussions of the issues of incommensurability and relativism. Other contributions investigate the bearing these fundamental issues have on ethical, aesthetic, religious, epistemological, scientific and sociopolitical concerns. "Culture and Modernity" offers an array of the works of some of the most influential contemporary philosophers in the world, including Karl-Otto Apel, Aziz Al-Azmeh, Margaret Chatterjee, Larry Laudan, Alasdair MacIntyre, Hilary Putnam, Richard Rorty and Svetozar Stojanovic. |
