Phenomenology, Transversality, and World Philosophy by Hwa Yol Jung

Phenomenology, Transversality, and World Philosophy by Hwa Yol Jung

Phenomenology, Transversality, and World Philosophy explores the concept of world philosophy (Weltphilosophie) to take into account the reality of today's multicultural and globalizing world. It challenges the assumption that the particular in the West is universalizable, but the particular in the non-West is particular forever, using the concept of transversality to construct an intercontinental philosophy. In the tradition of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's world literature (Weltliteratur), and in dialogue with work in ethics and political philosophy, Hwa Yol Jung examines the roles that phenomenology and transversality play in constructing world philosophy.

“Hwa Yol Jung charts incisively how transversality, as an ethics, philosophy, and way of being, moves creatively in-between the binary ‘anarchy of differences’ versus ‘totalitarianism of identity’ that paralyzes contemporary political praxisWhether it be discussing sincerity, harmony, alterity, or the ethics of responsibility, Jung’s scholarly reflections, with a Sinic accent, embodies the Dao of transversal phenomenology – a dialogic engagement with the other so desperately needed in a time of polarization.”

-- John Francis Burke, Trinity University
