More that 300 philosophers from over 40 countries committed a week of philosophical discourse to the protean theme of the conference, ''Place.'' The ten essays contained in this Special Issue were carefully selected by the Publication Committee to represent one prominent philosophical perspective represented at the conference, the Confucian tradition. By way of background and context, for more than three-quarters of a century, the East-West Philosophers' Conference series has hosted a dialogue among some of the world's most prominent philosophers of their time. The dialogue began in 1939 when three University of Hawai'i visionaries-Professors Charles A. Moore, Wingtsit Chan, and Gregg Sinclair-initiated the first East-West Philosophers' Conference in Honolulu. Its aim was to explore the significance of Eastern ways of thinking as a complement to Western thought, and to distill a possible synthesis of the ideas and ideals that are aspired to in these unique traditions. Comparative philosophy has evolved from this earliest idea to pursue a mutual respect and accommodation among the world's cultures, with conferences continuing to be held
