These difficulties arise from hermeneutical meanings of the problems and the cultural diversities and the different approaches in the same problems. These matters bring the suspicion of impossibility and effectiveness of comparative philosophy in mind. But if so, then all kinds of mutual understanding would be meaningless and absurd. I believe that all comparative studies must be aware of those obstacles and try to overcome them more and more to reach a more true comparison. Then, I will examine meanings of comparative philosophy and point out to the importance and necessity of such studies. We need to comparative studies for more global intercultural relations, and for solving the apparent conflicts between humankind, nations or cultures that have deep misunderstandings of each other.}, keywords = {Comparative Philosophy,Intercultural relations.,methodology,possibility,understanding}, title_fa = {فلسفه تطبیقی؛ امکان یا امتناع}, abstract_fa = {فلسفه تطبیقی در دوره معاصر به یکی از مباحث فلسفی جذاب در حوزه مطالعات تطبیقی تبدیل شده است. به نحوی که وقوع چنین فلسفه‌ای سخن گفتن از امکان آن را امری زائد و بیهوده می‌نمایاند. این نوشتار بر آن است، رهیافت‌های متنوع و مختلف درباره امکان یا امتناع فلسفه تطبیقی را بررسی کرده، در پایان با جانبداری از یک رهیافت ایجابی، روش، موانع و فواید آن را به دقت بازکاوی نماید.}, keywords_fa = {امکان فلسفه تطبیقی,روش‌شناسی فلسفه تطبیقی,فلسفه تطبیقی,فواید فلسفه تطبیقی.}, url = {https://jpht.ut.ac.ir/article_23763.html}, eprint = {https://jpht.ut.ac.ir/article_23763_643a5d1b0d09b29f0387c23dd6b5b921.pdf} }
