CALL FOR PAPERS
Gulf University for Science and Technology (GUST) in Kuwait is organising an international philosophy conference titled: “Unity between East and West Organic Totality from Muhammad Abduh to Post- Structuralism.”
An organic concept of “unity” or “totality” has been expressed by philosophers at all times and in all geographical regions. Plato outlines a “supreme originating principle of Becoming and the Cosmos,” the Romantics see nature as the mirror of a human-centered cosmos, and post-structural philosophies produce concepts of play or the rhizome. Non-Western philosophies have addressed unity in the form of tawhid (Arab) or basho (Japanese).
