Photo: Kees Gort Chiara Robbiano, Associate Professor at University College Utrecht and member of the EDI Steering Committee published her new book  Key Concepts in World Philosophies . Crossing continents and running across centuries, Key Concepts in World Philosophies brings together contributions of 45 scholars, including many from the Global South. Their articles discuss core ideas associated with major Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Islamic, African, Ancient Greek, Indigenous and modern European philosophers. The book is recommended reading to all - advanced readers as well as beginners - who are interested in re-thinking issues that are important to us in the 21 century by employing concepts coming from different times and traditions.  "Contemporary Anglo-European philosophy often appears to be nothing but a temple to the achievements of dead white men. Key Concepts in World Philosophies, by Sarah Flavel and Chiara Robbiano, is a powerful antidote to philosophical ethnocentrism. This anthology is like a philosophical box of chocolates, with wide selections of delicious, "bite-sized" chapters that broaden our philosophical horizons and expand our conceptual toolkits.
