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.
