Intimacy or Integrity: Philosophy and Cultural Difference

More about the book

Exploring the interplay between culture and thought, the book delves into how different cultural orientations—intimacy and integrity—shape our understanding of fundamental philosophical questions. Thomas Kasulis argues that these orientations, while reasonable and effective, are fundamentally incompatible, creating challenges in cross-cultural engagement. He advocates for a cultural bi-orientationality approach, promoting awareness of cultural roots and adaptability to diverse contexts. Written in an accessible style, it offers insights into navigating cultural differences and enhancing mutual understanding.
