In this book, Monika Kirloskar-Steinbach studies how Bhimrao Ambedkar (1891-1956), W.E.B. Du Bois (1868-1963), Mohammed Iqbal (1877-1938), Pandita Ramabai (1858-1922) and Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) diagnose the epistemic oppression they perceive and experience, their analysis of the coloniality of being as its cause, and their proposals to counter it. Kirloskar-Steinbach explores how these voices seek to co-create a space in which they can experience what it means to be free from the conceptual domination of academic frameworks, relish that freedom with their collaborators and, in the equal participation that that space affords, develop open-ended concepts that help them to resist the coloniality of being.

Ming Dong Gu bridges the divide between Chinese and Western thought. He does this by addressing key topics that have been of enduring interest to thinkers, scholars and intellectuals in an effort to bring about the fusion of horizons between Chinese and Western thought. These focus on the flow of Chinese thought to the West, Chinese and Western metaphysics, and the foundational ideas from both traditions including the Tao, Taiji, Logos, One, the Yijing, Confucianism, individualism and universalism.In addressing these key areas, Gu offers new interpretations of ideas, concepts, and principles in Chinese and Western thought and formulates new ideas, insights and conceptual frameworks for Chinese and Western thought to complement and mutually enrich each other.

Watsuji Tetsurō (1889-1960) is Japan’s foremost ethical philosopher. These essays, expertly translated by native English and Japanese speakers, offer the first English translation of many of Watsuji’s key texts including the final, and perhaps most important, chapter of Climate: A Philosophical Consideration (1962), Watsuji’s magnum opus.The selected translations are organised around three key themes: climate, ethics and nationality. Editorial introductions to each chapter construct a narrative account of Watsuji’s key concepts, putting the translations into context with Watsuji’s wider ideas. This collection positions Watsuji as a major world philosopher whose ideas are indispensable for thinking through environmental philosophy, global ethics and comparative philosophy in the twenty-first century.
