COMPARATIVE AND CONTINENTAL PHILOSOPHY 1.1 (2009).

Comparative and Continental Philosophy is a peer-reviewed and fully refereed journal that appears bi-annually and publishes leading edge papers by internationally respected scholars in comparative and continental philosophy. Sponsored by the Comparative and Continental Philosophy Circle (http://www.comcontphilosophy.org/), Comparative and Continental Philosophy is a seriously minded, yet interesting, academic journal that is accessible to a wide range of readers from various disciplines such as philosophy, religion, art history, comparative literature, critical theory, phenomenological psychology, and cultural theory. Although anchored in the discipline of philosophy and designed to provide a much needed niche in the natural development of continental philosophy into other nonwestern ways of thinking, submissions are welcomed from other disciplines as well and need not be necessarily comparative in nature. For comparative submissions, Asia is our primary focus, but we welcome papers devoted to any non-western region, especially Africa, and comparative continental and Anglo-American philosophy. The Journal also includes papers on critical spirituality that discuss inter-cultural encounters and address understanding through meditative thinking and papers on contemporary feminism. In general, the editorial board of Comparative and Continental Philosophy takes seriously a broad array of contemporary engagements with texts that open discussions and welcomes innovative submissions from authors.
