Because of political, economic, technological, and other developments, foreigners who come as students or academics to practice philosophy in a country, geography, and culture other than their own are increasingly prevalent in academic philosophy today. Yet this reality is insufficiently discussed and is under‐thematized, so that it remains opaque even to foreigners themselves. This article seeks first to dissipate that opacity by developing an account of what it is like to be a foreigner in philosophy. I offer an understanding of foreignness through a cluster of interrelated experiences, and I describe “existential dislocation” as the core experience that characterizes the foreigner. Next, the article follows some consequences of these descriptions and analyses. I address considerations of equality in the academy, and then I examine the significance of “existential dislocation” for the philosophical enterprise and propose that it occasions revitalizing possibilities for the discipline.

外国人的哲学和开放的错位

由于政治，经济，技术和其他方面的发展，外国人作为学生或学者来到一个国家，地理和文化之外实践自己国家以外的国家的哲学，如今在学术哲学中越来越普遍。然而，这一现实尚未得到充分讨论，主题化程度也很低，因此即使对于外国人本人也仍然不透明。本文首先试图通过发展成为哲学上的外国人的方式来消除这种不透明。我通过一系列相互关联的经验来提供对异性的理解，并且我将“存在性错位”描述为表征外国人的核心经验。接下来，本文将介绍这些描述和分析的一些后果。我在学院里谈到平等问题，
