Across the Philosophical Silk Road: A Festschrift in Honor of Alfredo P. Co is a publication gem that immortalizes the philosophical genius of Dr. Alfredo Co. This collection – a compilation of articles on various philosophical topics – breathes life into the intricate and colorful world of philosophy, and it's a fitting testament to the lifelong work of Dr. Co. It is without doubt that Dr. Co has treaded this path so passionately, thereby becoming one of the country's foremost philosophers. Dr. Co's deep love for philosophy is indeed a "love for wisdom". He has inspired others to similarly develop the same ardor to search for answers to life's many questions. — Fr. Rolando V. De la Rosa, O.P. (Rector)

Across the Philosophical Silk Road: A Festschrift in Honor of Alfredo P. Co, published on the occasion of the honoree's sixtieth birthday, includes his collected works in seven volumes and graciously supplemented with a collection of Celebratory Essays and Testimonials that contains contributions from his contemporaries, younger colleagues and former students discoursing specific topics of works as well as themes that intersect with interests. The festschrift honors a teaching and a scholarly career of the man that spanned almost four decades. The publication stands as a fitting tribute to his outstanding scholarship. Together, the collected works and the Celebratory Essays represent a spectrum that sees philosophy not just as a technical enterprise, but a humanistic endeavor that never loses sight of the original and lasting meaning of the term – the love of the true, the good, and the beautiful in man.
