Description of This Research Track
how can non-western philosophy help us to provide (different and better) answers, to the research questions of ESDiT?
Our activities have been steered by a number of concrete goals:
- Goal 1: Building capacity: most of us are on a steep learning curve, and most of all need to learn about non-western philosophies and intercultural philosophy.
- Goal 2: Building community: within ESDiT and our affiliates, we want to collaborate and co-learn in the area of intercultural philosophy.
- Goal 3: Building/strengthening our international network: we want to gain a better understanding, and get to know, the people working in these fields, in particular those who have also done work on SDTs.
- Goal 4: producing knowledge (and publishing it) that advances the intercultural philosophy perspective within ESDiT.
