Join Professors Jeffrey Sachs and Bryan Van Norden as they discuss Prof. Van Norden’s book, Taking Back Philosophy: A Multicultural Manifesto. As a leading expert in Chinese philosophy, Prof. Van Norden promotes an inclusive, multicultural approach to philosophical inquiry, and urges educational institutions to uphold cosmopolitan ideals.
Together, they delve into Prof. Van Norden’s powerful critique of American higher education's neglect of philosophical traditions from non-Western cultures, including China, India, and Africa. Prof. Van Norden challenges the long-standing Eurocentric bias of philosophy departments, and advocates a multicultural approach to philosophical inquiry.
Join this Book Club episode to explore a dialogue of Western and Asian philosophy, illustrating the enriching potential of diversity in philosophy. Discover the call for inclusive philosophical inquiry, enjoy a wonderful introduction to Confucian and Buddhist philosophy, and listen in on a conversation that challenges traditional Western notions of wisdom and philosophy.
