The conference was attended by 165 philosophers from some fourteen countries, including Australia, Austria, England, India, Israel, the People's Republic of China, and the United State. A narrative account of that conference together with abstracts from the proceedings have been published in the journal \u003ci\u003ePhilosophy East and West\u003c\/i\u003e (volume 36 no. 2, April 1986).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The purpose of the conference was to examine critically the \"state of the art\" in comparative philosophy and to fashion some new research agendas for the future. In the twentieth century comparative philosophy developed in its present form, so it seemed appropriate to have an international research conference that, on one level, would assess where the field has been to date but, on another level, would project where it should be going as we approach the end of the century. Moreover, we were aware that it was still possible to include a number of senior philosophers who had been involved in the field throughout much of the century (for example, Wing-tsit Chan, Hajime Nakamura, and Charles Hartshorne, to name but a few.)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Choosing a theme for the conference was something of a risk. We wanted to avoid focusing on any particular problem, tradition, figure, or method, any one of which would have prematurely foreclosed the sort of broad \"state of the art\" deliberations that we wanted to evoke. At the same time, we dreaded the \"general call for papers\" so typical of academic gatherings in the humanities, which allows participants to withdraw into their own eccentric (and frequently boring) specializations. In the final analysis, we decided to focus on the notion of \"limit\" but to do so in a metaphorical way: hence, the metaphor \"boundary\" and the general theme \"Interpreting Across Boundaries.\" Use of such a metaphorical theme left open both the definition of \"boundary\" (whether cultural, religious, linguistic, epistemological, historical, disciplinary, or whatever) and the matter of \"interpreting\" or, in other words, the issue of \"understanding\" (hermeneutics). To change the metaphor, we endeavored to \"let a hundred flowers bloom,\" the problems of weeds, birds, and crabgrass notwithstanding.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e In any case, the risk appears to have been worth it, for the conference produced a variety of significant philosophical analyses and research proposals, most of which have been carefully summarized and reported in the number of \u003ci\u003ePhilosophy East West\u003c\/i\u003e cited before. Beyond that, however, there emerged a specific group of essays, derived directly or indirectly from the conference, that provide some intriguing insights into the future directions of comparative philosophy as a field and which we are characterizing in this volume as \"new essays in comparative philosophy.\" These essays are sufficiently interesting and sufficiently indicative of new directions for comparative philosophy.\" To deserve publication in their entirety as a collection. Not only are they the work of some of the leading comparativists of the century (and thus of historical interest) but also they represent an array of analytic and programmatic approaches to comparative philosophy that are symptomatic of a much more mature, sophisticated grasp of the comparative enterprise. Wilhelm Halbfass comments, in the January 1985 issues of \u003ci\u003ePhilosophy East and West,\u003c\/i\u003e that 'comparative philosophy' as an open-minded, methodically rigorous, hermeneutically alert, and yet existentially committed comparative study of human orientations is still in a nascent stage\" (p. 14). This observation is surely reasonable and surely reasonable and one to which al of us who \"do\" comparative philosophy would subscribe, and it is our hope that this volume will contribute significant insights by way of identifying those areas of productive growth which comparative philosophy should nurture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e \u003cb\u003eCONTENTS\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ctable border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"7\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd width=\"100%\"\u003e Preface\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e vii\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Introduction: The \"Age-Old Distinction Between the Same and the Other\"\u003cbr\u003e GERALD JAMES LARSON\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e 3\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Metaphor as Key to Understanding the Thought of Other Speech Communities\u003cbr\u003e KARL H.
