In this volume, we seek to show how bringing diverse philosophical traditions into dialogue with each other can provide fresh insights on questions of specific interest to feminists and global theorists generally.

Comparative themes may include, but are by no means limited to: Theories of Embodiment, Gender, or Personhood; The Hermeneutics of Cross-Cultural/Cross-World Dialogue; Philosophical Practice and ...
