These inroads have been made in canonical areas of philos ophy\, including epistemology\, metaphysics\, logic\, and value theory. Ye t comparative philosophy still plays little role in practical applied ethi cs\, an interdisciplinary research area in which work with practice and po licy implications are dominated by the anglophone world. In this article\, I explain why comparative work might be especially difficult in this type of applied ethics\, and I suggest how comparative philosophers might over come these challenges to connect their theoretical work with contemporary practical issues.\nWith responses from Wenqing Zhao (CUNY Baruch)\nNOTE ON ENTRY FOR NON-COLUMBIA GUESTS: The door to Philosophy Hall will only open with a Columbia University ID card.
