Finally, Jonardon Ganeri offers a pathway beyond Eurocentrism, presenting a blueprint for cosmopolitan philosophy. Ganeri argues for a way of understanding the future of the history of philosophy through valuable philosophical skills and institutions doi.org/10.1080/0960...

Second, Lee Wilson discusses Straits Chinese philosopher Lim Boon Keng (1869–1957), whose medical Confucianism diagnoses 'pathogens' causing a philosophical Eurocentrism. Lim presents an early systematic attempt to create an Anglo-Chinese hybrid philosophy doi.org/10.1080/0960...

First up: Saloni de Souza highlights an important contribution from Garcia de Orta, a 16th century thinker who fled Portugal for Goa, India, and who critiqued various aspects of a kind of Eurocentrism widespread amongst European natural philosophers at the time doi.org/10.1080/0960...
