A New Perspective on the Nature and Purpose of Comparative Philosophy
Abstract:
Exploring how different cultures and philosophies approach fundamental human issues has been inherently interesting and important for researchers. This interest is heightened by the fact that despite notable differences in concepts, methods, and issues, there are many similarities between these approaches. Recently, these endeavors have taken the form of a well-defined discipline known as Comparative Philosophy or Intercultural Studies. The primary purpose of this field is to identify and understand the commonalities and differences in various cultural perspectives. However, some people, based on their specific philosophical views, doubt the practicality of these efforts, thinking they won't lead to meaningful results. Although, on the surface, the domain of these two issues - the definition and the possibility of realization of Comparative Philosophy - appears to be separate from each other, this paper, after exploring various perspectives in this area and tackling with the challenges of realizing this type of knowledge, a close examination of the fundamental principles of thought and philosophy allows for a simultaneous and cohesive response to both of these issues. In essence, a novel definition of Comparative Philosophy is offered by taking into account the feasibility and effectiveness of realizing Comparative Philosophy and cross-cultural comparison.
