Addresses the philosophical question of how to understand other cultures from a Wittgensteinian perspective.
This volume addresses, from a Wittgensteinian perspective, the philosophical question of how to understand other cultures. It develops an approach to this question that emphasizes the connection between its epistemological, ethical and political aspects, bringing into conversation Wittgensteinian and other cultural philosophical traditions, notably from Japan, China, India and the West-African Yoruba communities.
"Along with its rich insights into intercultural understanding, this volume contains some of the most original and important essays on Wittgenstein’s philosophy, and its relevance to understanding others, that I have read in a long time. A fascinating and deeply rewarding read" — Prof. Danièle Moyal-Sharrock, University of Hertfordshire; President of the British Wittgenstein Society.
“Wittgenstein’s thought, so important for philosophers, cultural theorists and anthropologists, offers a platform for investigating ways we find meaning in the everyday whirl of organisms, societies and forms of life. Stepping off from here, this volume creatively explores new ways of looking at intercultural understanding: how we may expand and re-translate our own lives through encounters with others" — Juliet Floyd Professor of Philosophy, Boston University.
