SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – "Comparative Philosophy Without Method" by Prof. Steven Burik\, Singapore Management University\, Singapore
DESCRIPTION:Microsoft Teams: https://go.um.edu.mo/7mnk1eav \n  \nAbstract \nI argue that comparative philosophy cannot have one method or even one methodology. I take my cue from two ideas. The first is tied to the famous story of G. E. Moore pointing to the wall of books behind him and saying philosophy was “what these are about.” Moore referred to an entire history of thinking with its own categories\, demands\, and interests\, but more importantly to the impossibility to narrow down philosophy to a particular method or to one way of doing philosophy. My second cue has to do with the definitions of philosophical ‘method’ and ‘methodology.’ Using the different definitions of ‘method’ and ‘methodology’\, I claim firstly that comparative philosophy cannot by its very nature have one method\, because with ever finer comparisons and ever less generalisations\, comparative philosophy is increasingly becoming more site-specific so that it will become impossible to assign any single meaningful identity to it. I claim that assigning such a single identity is something that comparative philosophy should avoid. Secondly\, I claim that we do not need a specific methodology for comparative philosophy. I conclude by saying that these requirements should stay as minimal as possible\, and that this is the only way comparative philosophy can stay true to its intended openness to diverse ways of thought. \n  \nBio \nSteven Burik is Associate Professor in Philosophy at Singapore Management University. He is also the Associate Dean for Student Matters and Alumni Affairs in the School of Social Sciences\, and currently holds a Lee Kong Chian Research Fellowship. He holds a PhD in comparative philosophy from the National University of Singapore. His research interests are mainly in comparative philosophy\, continental philosophy (Heidegger\, Derrida)\, Chinese philosophy (Daoism)\, and Critical Thinking. He is the author of The End of Comparative Philosophy and the Task of Comparative Thinking (SUNY Press)\, and editor of Comparative Philosophy and Method: Contemporary Practices and Future Possibilities\, (co-edited with Ralph Weber and Robert Smid\, Bloomsbury)\, which brings together leading scholars thinking about the methodology in comparative philosophy\, and has co-authored a textbook in Critical Thinking. Aside from these he has published numerous articles in various journals and books\, including Philosophy East and West\, Dao: a Journal of Comparative Philosophy\, and Comparative and Continental Philosophy.

SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL: UM DISTINGUISHED VISITING SCHOLAR LECTURE – "Investigating a Philosophical Method" by Prof. Claudine Verheggen\, York University\, Canada
DESCRIPTION:Microsoft Teams: https://go.um.edu.mo/7mnk1eav \n  \nAbstract \nLudwig Wittgenstein’s philosophical method of #2 is that of trying to make sense of a philosophical idea by trying to “make the idea real”\, that is\, to “describe or imagine a situation to which the philosophical idea in question truly applies” (Stroud 1983).  I argue\, with Barry Stroud\, that the method of #2 can be used to rule out reductionist accounts of meaning\, but\, against Stroud\, that it can also be used to rule out the possibility of both private and solitary languages.  Moreover\, constructive claims about meaning can be generated when the method is applied to the idea of a shared or social language. \n  \nBio \nProfessor Claudine Verheggen has research and teaching interests in the philosophy of language and related issues in philosophy of mind\, metaphysics\, and epistemology. These include normativity\, objectivity\, truth\, non-reductionism\, and philosophical scepticism. She also have a special interest in Wittgenstein and Davidson. Currently\, Professor Verheggen is a Professor of Philosophy at York University\, where she has taught since 2006. She has published numerous books\, edited collections through presses including Polity\, Cambridge University Press\, and Routledge. She has also published numerous papers and book chapters in venues such as Oxford University Press\, Topoi\, The Philosophical Quarterly\, Synthese\, Metaphilosophy\, and elsewhere.

SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – "Conceptual-Historical Approach to Comparative philosophy: Beyond the Chinese-Western Axis" by Prof. So-Jeong Park\, Sungkyunkwan University\, Korea
DESCRIPTION:Microsoft Teams: https://go.um.edu.mo/7mnk1eav \n  \nAbstract \nComparative philosophy has played a role in revitalizing philosophy as a discipline while simultaneously criticizing the presumed universality of Western-centered Philosophy. As the Chinese–Western axis has become dominant in comparative philosophy\, the field has moved beyond the early stage of merely juxtaposing similarities and differences between two traditions. Yet the prevailing trend today still tends to interpret ancient Chinese ideas through modern Western frameworks\, or to reframe them in terms of contemporary philosophical concerns. This tendency can make Chinese philosophy appear like a static reservoir\, instead of a tradition that continues to evolve. I argue that a conceptual-historical approach can help correct this imbalance. By this I mean treating concepts as historically constructed and transformed through ongoing debate and reinterpretation\, not as fixed entities. Conceptual revolutions—fundamental shifts that redefined worldviews and symbolic systems—occurred not only in the West\, but also across non-Western traditions. Tracing the conceptual histories of East Asian thought allows us to perceive both continuities and ruptures between ancient Chinese philosophy and modern East Asian philosophy. In this way\, we can foster cross-cultural dialogue as a living exchange in the present\, rather than confining ourselves to comparison between ancient Chinese and modern Western thought. \n  \nBio \nPARK\, So-Jeong is a Professor of Korean Philosophy at Sungkyunkwan University and serves as the director of Institute of Korean Philosophy and Culture (IKPC)\, where she leads the K-Academic Expansion Project (KAEP). She has taught Chinese philosophy and cross-cultural philosophy in Singapore and Hong Kong\, and her current research interests include Korean Philosophy\, Comparative Philosophy\, and the Philosophy of Music. Her online courses on Coursera include Introduction to Korean Philosophy and Culture\, In Search for the Origins of Korean Philosophy\, EKP1: Modernity and the Emergence of Korean Philosophy\, EKP2: Formation of Korean Neo-Confucianism\, Korean Music\, A Philosophical Exploration (collab.) and How to Understand Our Emotions: Seongho’s New Proposal 1 (collab).
