Stephen Green, ed., Doing Metaphysics in a Diverse World: How We Make Sense of Things Across Cultures has been published by Bloomsbury.
In a world increasingly interconnected and fractious, cross-cultural dialogue about metaphysics matters more than ever. Drawing on theories and traditions from China, Japan, the Indic world, pre-colonial Africa, pre-Spanish Meso-America, as well as Islamic and European thought, a team of leading philosophers and historians bring case studies, texts, themes and thinkers of very different worlds into conversation. On the basis of this exceptionally rich and diverse canvas, they reflect on questions of enduring human significance: What is suchness? What do we mean by being, becoming and beyond? What is personhood? How do we name and order our world? How should we live?
