For years, areas of human experience such as agency and personal context were ignored by traditional philosophers, who considered them to be irrelevant.

By attempting to apply their own personal experiences to the understanding of people and ideas, philosophers have been able to broaden the field of philosophical inquiry in recent years.

Cross-cultural philosophers’ attempts to introduce diversity into their field of enquiry has come up against strong opposition from traditionalists.

Philosophical study that generalises from a narrow, personal context is expanding to incorporating cross-cultural experiences and locating subjects in their historical and corporeal spaces.
