Promocija komparativne filozofije kao općeg intertradicijskog angažmana bavljenja filozofijom u smjeru svjetske filozofije
Promoting comparative philosophy as a general cross-tradition engaging way of doing philosophy toward world philosophy

Summary/Abstract: Our International Society for Comparative Philosophy toward World Philosophy (“CPWP” for short: www.cpwponline.org), emphasizes (but is not limited to) the constructive engagement of distinct approaches and resources from different philosophical traditions (whether distinguished culturally or by style/orientation) or from (ancient) philosophical tradition and contemporary scholarship (philosophy or other intellectual pursuits): inquire into how they can talk to and learn from each other and make joint contributions to the contemporary development of philosophy through treating a range of (perennial, existing or newly identified) issues of philosophical value and significance that can be jointly concerned and approached via appropriate philosophical interpretation and from a higher and/or broader philosophical vantage point toward world philosophy and for the sake of contemporary development of philosophy and society. Problems of cross-tradition philosophy with its methods and approaches, namely the comparative approach with advantages and shortcomings of these comparative perspectives taking into account that they belong to the Euro-American methodological tradition as a product of the European intellectual history and the corresponding socialization processes vs. non-Western discources, which belong to a different referential framework and eo ipso they are resulting in different methodological procedures, our philosophers-comparativists are placing into a broader cross-cultural context. Also, the very process of comparing different philosophies as such is necessarily linked to numerous methodological problems especially when dealing with transcultural philosophical comparisons connected to intercultural philosophical vocabularies, and this issue is above all connected with predominantly Western-centric methodology and its axiological presumptions. Actually, dealing with the perspective(s) of different referential frameworks in the framework which prevailed in the course of European intellectual history, this paper is quest for upgrading and changing the existing methodological procedures on the basis of available literature. This ‘constructive-engagement strategy’ or ‘constructive-engagement account’ has been pointedly focused on in a recent international virtual conference (19–23 April 2022) co-organized by our journal and the CPWP and co-sponsored and hosted by the SJSU Center for Comparative Philosophy.
