Transcultural philosophical method of sublation and the cultural conditionality of semantic frameworks of reference

Rošker, Jana S. (author)

This paper presents the transcultural philosophical method of sublation as a novel approach to intercultural post-comparative philosophy. The method challenges the limitations of traditional comparative philosophy by emphasizing the importance of culturally conditioned semantic frameworks and referential contexts. It critiques the assumption of a universal philosophical language and instead promotes a dynamic, dialectical interaction between philosophical systems. The paper explores the structural complexity of referential frameworks and their influence on philosophical comparisons, highlighting how the sublation method fosters a productive dialogue among diverse philosophical traditions. Through a multi-phased process, it reveals how tensions between contrasting elements can generate new insights and innovative theories. This methodological framework contributes to a deeper understanding of intercultural philosophy, advocating for a processual and relational approach to philosophical inquiry.

Abstract

本文提出「揚棄的跨文化哲學方法」，作為一種新的跨文化後 比較哲學取徑。此方法突破傳統比較哲學的侷限，強調語義框 架與參照語境的文化條件性，批判普遍哲學語言的預設，轉而 倡導哲學系統間動態、辯證性的互動。本文探討參照框架的結 構性複雜性及其對哲學比較的影響，指出揚棄方法如何促進多 元哲學傳統間的建設性對話。透過多階段的過程，此方法揭示 對立元素間的張力如何轉化為新的理解與創新理論。此一方法 論框架有助於深化對跨文化哲學的理解，主張一種過程性與關 係性的哲學探究方式。
