Taking Back Philosophy - by Bryan W Van Norden (Paperback)

Taking Back Philosophy: A Call for Inclusive Education is a thought-provoking and timely book that challenges the Eurocentric and insular nature of academic philosophy.

Written by Bryan W.

Van Norden, an expert in Chinese philosophy, this manifesto argues that educational institutions must live up to their cosmopolitan ideals by incorporating non-Western philosophical traditions into their curricula. The book showcases accessible examples of how Western and Asian thinkers can be brought into productive dialogue, demonstrating that philosophy becomes deeper as it becomes increasingly diverse and pluralistic.

Van Norden proposes an inclusive, multicultural approach to philosophical inquiry, making the case for a global perspective on philosophy that challenges narrowness in the current philosophic, political, and cultural scene. With endorsements from prominent scholars and authors, including Wendy Doniger, Graham Priest, Michael Puett, Aaron Stalnaker, Owen Flanagan, and Erin M.

Cline, Taking Back Philosophy is a must-read for anyone interested in the value of philosophy, the liberal arts, or diverse cultures' relevance to basic questions about how we ought to live.
