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.
