The series West-östliche Denkwege is not only a forum for the philosophical exchange of ideas, but also constitutes a shared effort towards the truth reached in dialogue not only with East-Asian and Western cultures, but also within the space of Europe itself, to the past and present of which a West–East structure of difference belongs. The primary aim of the series is not simply to compare thinking cultures, but to connect them together in order to make them fruitful for the purposes of a common effort. In dealing with the fundamental topics of theoretical and practical philosophy, political thinking and bioethics, the series aims to encourage a lively discourse between East and West by disclosing a wealth of different traditions.

The series of publications entitled “Rekonstruktive Weltpolitikforschung” publishes studies which address the pulsating developments in world politics and share an interest in adopting approaches to a subject that are exploratory and allow for theories to be devised as well as in the continued development of the research methods they employ. These studies all have a mutual formal theoretical basis which neutralises and integrates the typical clashes between talking and taking action, theory and practice, or understanding and explaining. Moreover, the authors of these studies all agree that events in global politics are determined by a universe of interpretations and convictions, intersubjective rules and norms and systemically induced effects whose substance can be reconstructed in detail.
