Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present and explain a meta-philosophical methodological framework of how to look at seemingly competing approaches for the sake of cross-tradition understanding and constructive engagement in our carrying out philosophical inquiries in a global context.¹ I intend to use this presentation and explanation as one way to explore the issue of how cross-tradition² understanding and constructive engagement is possible.
