In this talk, I will discuss briefly the origins scope of the East-West Encounters in Literature and Cultural Studies Series. I will then make some brief observations on the state of globalism and the place of the humanities, before closing with some personal observations on the necessity for a comparative perspective. In particular, I will argue that the need for East-West Comparative work is only growing, that we need to promote transnational literary study as an antidote both to an unprincipled neoliberalism and aid to mutual understanding, and that we must recognize the existence of parallel worlds so evolve new modes of thought that speak between them: the Platonic, the Confucian, Vedic, and the Koranic.
