Ralph Weber, Co-PI of the Reversing the Gaze project, and Lerato Posholi, project member, have contributed to the special feature of Philosophy East and West on “The Prospects, Problems, and Urgency of Global Intercultural Philosophy Now”.
Ralph Weber departs from the tension between globality and positionality in the context of current attempts to make comparative philosophy more global in scope and more inclusive regarding standpoints. He explores the role of positionality and perspectivism in post-comparative philosophy and inquires into the possibility of meaningful fusion.
Lerato Posholi discusses contemporary debates about methodological issues in philosophy in Africa to raise concerns about the uptake of diverse philosophical resources at the heart of the global post-comparative method. She suggests that the feasibility of the post-comparative method depends on the availability of robust and rich philosophical resources furnished by different traditions and their systematic uptake.
