About the Book

The essays included in this book break new ground in the philosophy of reason by situating rationality - logical theory, ontology, first philosophy, philosophical hermeneutics - in a global context and tapping the global essence of natural reason. The essays formulate and resolve a fundamental problem in the human condition which has not been adequately dealt with: how discourse between two profoundly different worlds is possible. The formulation and solution of this vital human concern requires the clarification of the universal logos in natural reason - the universal logic which is the common ground between worlds. The essays open the way to the emerging frontier of global reason in expanding the foundations of logic, ontology, hermeneutical practice and the discourse of philosophy in a global context. This calls for a paradigm shift in rational practice from egocentric reason to dialogical or global reason.

About the Author :
The Author: Ashok K. Gangadean is currently Professor and Chair of Philosophy at Haverford College, where he has taught for the past twenty-nine years. His primary concern over the past thirty years has been to clarify the universal logos or common ground at the heart of human reason and rational life. This theme has been developed and tested over the years through his courses, public lectures, and published essays on a wide range of topics including logical theory and the philosophy of language, metaphysics and comparative ontology the development of global philosophy, explorations in the global significance of Hindu, Buddhist and Zen thought, comparative philosophy (east and west), philosophical theology, and interreligious dialogue. Dr. Gangadean recently published a companion volume: Meditative Reason: Toward Universal Grammar also in the Revisioning Philosophy Series (Peter Lang). Another related book - Time, Truth and Logic - will appear soon. He is also the Founder-Director of the Global Dialogue Institute which seeks to embody the dialogical powers of global reason in all aspects of cultural life. His forthcoming book, The Awakening of the Global Mind, develops these themes for the general reader.
