Although the Orientalism famously described by Edward Said is rare today, Steven Burik maintains that comparative philosophy often subtly privileges one tradition over another since certain conceptual schemes are so embedded in Western languages that it is difficult not to revert to them. Arguing for a new approach that acknowledges how theory and practice cannot be separated in comparative philosophical endeavors, Burik provides nonmetaphysical, deconstructionist readings of Heidegger and Derrida and uses these to give a new reading of classical Daoism. The ideas of language advanced therein can aid the project of comparative philosophy specifically, and philosophies generally, in trying to overcome ways of thinking that have dominated Western philosophy for twenty-five hundred years and still frustrate intercultural encounters. 606 $aPhilosophy, Comparative 606 $aTaoist philosophy 615 0$aPhilosophy, Comparative. 615 0$aTaoist philosophy. 676 $a181/.114 700 $aBurik$b Steven$f1970-$01694135 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828509503321 996 $aThe end of comparative philosophy and the task of comparative thinking$94072465 997 $aUNINA
