Relational thinking and the cultural conditionality of human understanding

Rošker, Jana S. (avtor)

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.
