Lance Gracy is seeking abstracts for an upcoming edited volume on Franciscan and Neo-Confucian philosophy. The contributed works would assess anew the “metaxological space” of Franciscan and Neo-Confucian philosophy with the aim of conveying the mutual flowering and divergence between the two traditions. With renewed interest in comparative philosophy, the objective of the upcoming edited volume is to intellectually undertake the challenge of discovering indelible species in a “land”—still somewhat obscured—nestled between two expansive world traditions, so to better situate them within contemporary context. While most adjacent scholarship addressing the dynamism of the two traditions is historical or piece-meal, sustained philosophical analysis of the space between them remains an alluring frontier with signs of both difficulty and promise.
