Introduction to Field-Being Philosophy

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.

Laura Weed is Professor of Philosophy and Chair of the Philosophy and Religious Studies Department at the College of Saint Rose, USA. She has participated in the International Institute for Field Being since the second Symposium, presenting papers, editing the International Journal of Field-Being, and now, directing the Institute in the USA. Lik Kuen Tong and colleagues in the Institute have been inspirational to her in her work in Asian Philosophy, mysticism in Philosophy of Religion, and panpsychism.

He has presented at Fairfield University, the American Philosophical Association, and the World Congress of Philosophy.
