Introduction to Field-Being Philosophy: An Anthology of Lik Kuen Tong's Thought
This text is the first concise anthology of Lik Kuen Tong’s Field-Being philosophy. In addressing the ontology of both Eastern and Western thought, Field-Being philosophy offers a new metaphysics. Inclusively, it makes room at the table of philosophy for indigenous philosophy, and, foundationally, it rethinks the universe and the global world ontologically as “activity” and “relationality.” A comprehensive philosophy, it considers what is as movement, as well as the what of movement, and inventively adds the concept of “betweenness.” This philosophy of movement or “activity,” being future-oriented, is timely in the practical world, lending itself to the addressing of current issues such as climate change, global relations, and difference.
Therese Dykeman was a colleague of Professor Tong at Fairfield University when he asked her to comment on a paper at the first Field-Being Symposium. From that initiation into Field-Being philosophy onwards, she has continued to be involved in the field as editor of the International Journal of Field-Being and author of Rhetoric at the Non-Substantialistic Turn: The East-West Coin.
