Authors from all over the world unite in an effort to cultivate dialogue between Asian and
Western philosophy. The papers forge a new East-West comparative path on the whole range of
issues in Kant studies. The concept of personhood crucial for both traditions serves as a
springboard to address issues such as knowledge acquisition and education ethics and
self-identity religious political community building and cross-cultural understanding. Edited
