Intercultural dialogues and the creativity of knowledge - A study on Daya Krishna
Coquereau-Saouma, Elise Isadora Marie Colette ; Sepp, Hans Rainer (advisor) ; Bhushan, Nalini (referee) ; Raghuramaraju, A. (referee)
This work discusses the contribution of the philosopher Daya Krishna (1924-2007) to the realm of intercultural dialogues. A leading figure of academic Indian philosophy, Daya Krishna left an immense and eclectic, yet mainly unexplored, corpus. Firstly, I offer one approach to his diverse philosophy by focusing on his philosophical project as a whole. His project attempts to unveil the presuppositions of thinking, which can only be effectuated in dialoguing across philosophical traditions founded on different presuppositions. Applying his project to the realm of intercultural dialogues, I begin by questioning the limits encountered by recent intercultural theories aiming at deconstructing Eurocentrism and establishing a global philosophical dialogue while responding to their postmodern European heritages. As a counterpoint, I introduce the challenges of Anglophone Indian philosophers in India, facing an uprooting from their own traditions. They feel this uprooting as cultural subjection, deprived of their own philosophical past. Within this context, Daya Krishna connected isolated communities of thinkers by organizing multilingual dialogues (called 'saṃvāda') between traditional paṇḍits, ulama and Anglophone philosophers. I reconstruct some of these experiments, thereby emphasizing methodological...

The Emergence of Cultural Otherness in Philosophy and the Problematics of Intercultural Hermeneutics
Coquereau, Elise Isadora Marie Colette ; Sepp, Hans Rainer (advisor) ; Stenger, Georg (referee)
Zusammenfassung Diese Arbeit fragt nach der Methodik im Bereich der interkulturellen Philosophie. Sie analysiert die Probleme der verschiedenen Denkmodelle unterschiedlicher philosophischer Traditionen, damit diese Modelle, als Paradigmen verstanden, den heutigen Bedenken zum Thema Fremdheit angepasst werden können. Von interkultureller Hermeneutik über Literatur und phänomenologische Ansätze bis hin zu indischer Philosophie und philosophischer Hermetik beabsichtigt sie die Darstellung einer kritischen Untersuchung bestehender interkultureller Theorien, um von der Kritik und der Kombination derselben einen möglichen Weg (als praxis) zum Fremden zu ermöglichen, ein Weg, der auf eine dynamische Beziehung zu eben diesem Fremden und eine beiderseitige Anerkennung abzielt. Schlüsselwörter: Interkulturelle Philosophie, Fremdheit, Indische/Westliche Philosophien, (Kultur)Hermeneutik, Hermetik, Literatur, Methode, Tradition, Verstehen/Erfahrung.
