Taking Back Philosophy

Book • 2017
Bryan Van Norden's 'Taking Back Philosophy' is a call to broaden the scope of philosophical inquiry by incorporating non-Western traditions.

The book challenges the dominance of the European philosophical canon, arguing that excluding other traditions impoverishes the field and limits our understanding of fundamental questions.

Van Norden critiques the historical and cultural biases that have led to the marginalization of Chinese, Indian, Africana, and indigenous philosophies.

He demonstrates the relevance and value of these traditions, illustrating how they can enrich contemporary philosophical debates and promote cross-cultural dialogue.

This book encourages a more inclusive and globally aware approach to philosophical education.
