Description
Title: Is comparative philosophy an expression of hybridity?
Speaker: Dr. Andrew Soh completed his Ph.D. in Philosophy at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa in 2019. His dissertation entitled, "Weiziran (為自然) and Aloha ʻĀina: Place, Identity and Ethics of the Environment," drew on insights from Daoist philosophy and Hawaiian ecological wisdom to engage in a dialogue toward the realization of an enduring and capacious ethics of the environment. His research interests are in the fields of Indigenous Ecological Ethics (in particular, Hawaiian Ecological Ethics), Daoist Philosophy, Environmental Philosophy, and Ethics of Place and Placemaking, exploring the intersection of these fields of inquiry. At present, he is a lecturer at Ateneo de Manila University, teaching two courses online, namely, Philosophy of Religion and Contemporary Asian Philosophy.
