The Society emphasizes (but is not limited to) the constructive engagement of distinct approaches and resources from different philosophical traditions (whether distinguished culturally or by style/orientation) or from (ancient) philosophical tradition and contemporary scholarship (philosophy or other intellectual pursuits):
Inquire into how they can talk to and learn from each other and make joint contributions to the contemporary development of philosophy through treating a range of (perennial, existing or newly identified) issues of philosophical value and significance that can be jointly concerned and approached via appropriate philosophical interpretation and from a higher and/or broader philosophical vantage point. 

The academic activities organized by the Society are expected to be on topics and contents that can be philosophically interesting to its general membership and in view of the CPWP mission and emphasis, instead of being only locally interesting to ones working merely in one tradition or merely on historical/descriptive topics.

Each term of the Executive Board is to organize one term of the Society’s “Comparative Philosophy toward World Philosophy” conference series.

An international conference on the theme “Comparative Philosophy toward World Philosophy”, co-organized by the International Society for Comparative Philosophy toward World Philosophy [as its 1st term of “Comparative Philosophy toward World Philosophy” conference series] and the open-access international journal, Comparative Philosophy (ISSN: 2151-6014 <www.comparativephilosophy.org>), and co-sponsored and hosted by the Center for Comparative Philosophy, San Jose State University, USA, will be held virtually during the week of April 19 (Tuesday) -23 (Saturday) April 2022, with panel sessions arranged in a scattered way sensitive to the speakers/participants’ different international time zones and other relevant situational elements, instead of all sessions one by one within one or two days.

The topics and contents in the conference are expected to be philosophically interesting in a general and cross-traditional way and in view of the contemporary development of philosophy, instead of being only locally interesting to ones working merely in one tradition or merely on historical/descriptive topics.
