20.500.12556/RUL-143765 Relational thinking and the cultural conditionality of human understanding For Western researchers, the confrontation and understanding of so-called “non-Western” cultural traditions are intricately bound up with linguistic, cultural, historical, and socializational disparity issues. Indeed, the interpretation of various cultures is a process where not only the subject of the interpretation, i.e., the culture, is important, but also interpreter-related factors, e.g., in terms of geography, politics, and economy, play a role. A basic assumption of the present chapter is that Western epistemology embodies only one of the numerous diverse models of human thought and our perception of reality. This chapter presents a specific epistemology, which differs in its characteristics from the norms derived from Euro-American epistemological discourses. The basic paradigms of this model, which I call “relational epistemology,” have been developed in Sinic, especially Chinese, intellectual traditions; it is predicated on the idea of seeing the world as a complex network of interconnections. Such models for interpreting questions of knowledge were thus based on the compatibility of the structures of external reality on the one hand and the structure of the human mind on the other. intercultural methodology interpretation mind perception reality relational network structural compatibility transcultural epistemology Confucianism relationism cultural conditionality of deciding theory of perception konfucijanstvo odnosnost kulturna pogojenost odločanja teorija percpecije true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2023-01-11 12:53:29 2023-01-11 12:53:33 2023-01-12 04:02:45 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Str. 19-36 0000-00-00 PostprintKoncna Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-01-03 1 136746243 136739843 AAM_Rosker.pdf AAM_Rosker.pdf 1 2C982302A9622DB92786FC962AB2A19F 7b0ea1fdfcf57e7adb31056f4b900044a3856f6f5bc3a2ef0e8f6c7a9b0f29e9 dbaea2e5-91a7-11ed-9c94-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=165677 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
