SUMMARY:Philosophies in Southeast Asia
LOCATION:Fritz-Reuter-Saal
DESCRIPTION:Dealing with Philosophy at an Area Studies conference permits t
 wo different approaches to the topic: one from the discipline of Philosophy
  and one from Area Studies. These approaches together help explain why the 
 topic of “Philosophies in Southeast Asia” has so far been overlooked in aca
 demia. From an Area Studies perspective, we can trace why philosophy rarely
  has been included among the diverse disciplines that make up the field. Th
 is exclusion is especially acute in Southeast Asian Studies – there are not
  many Southeast Asianists with a philosophical background, and there is no 
 philosophy taught in Area Studies curricula for the region. Therefore, Phil
 osophy is nearly absent from the disciplines of Area Studies for Southeast 
 Asia. Anthropologists, social scientists and historians with a focus on Sou
 theast Asia sometimes venture into theory, but those attempts have been rel
 atively unsystematic.\n\nIf we look from a Philosophy perspective instead, 
 we find that “Philosophies in Southeast Asia” are not widely researched amo
 ng Western philosophers either, although for different reasons. While philo
 sophies of Asia have gained more and more attention in Western academia ove
 r the past two decades, this has been more the case for better-known canoni
 cal traditions, such as Indian or Chinese Philosophy. The regional philosop
 hies have remained largely unacknowledged and under-examined.\n\nSeveral sc
 holars have argued, however, that a conceptualization of philosophies in So
 utheast Asia is both possible and necessary. This Roundtable tries to explo
 re fundamental aspects of such a grouping, within both Philosophy and South
 east Asian Studies, to provide an international platform for this promising
  field.\n\nCentral topics will be:\n\n- Philosophy in Southeast Asia or Sou
 theast Asian Philosophy?\n- Denominational problems: On labels and (non-)ne
 utrality\n- From thinking and theory to philosophizing\n- The history of ph
 ilosophy in Southeast Asia\n- Figures of Southeast Asian philosophy\n- The 
 language issue\n- Differences and similarities of Southeast Asian philosoph
 ies\n- Southeast Asian philosophies in Southeast Asia and the West
