The theme of the conference "Teaching Philosophy/Darshana/Kalam
etc. in Asian Contexts" evokes several questions and issues: What
is philosophy in Asia? Is there something like an "Asian"
philosophy or has one to speak from different Asian philosophies
only like Chinese, Indian, Japanese etc. or Buddhist, Hinduistic,
Islamic and the like? What should be taught under philosophy in
Asia? Do we need to canonise another type of philosophy called
"Asian" like the one already existing Western philosophy, or should
we concentrate on intercultural and contextual philosophies like?
What are the Asian contexts? Does philosophy originate from these
contexts and does it respond to them? Who are the students? Why do
we want to teach them?
