    What?

    I am not sure which is more ridiculous.

    Lumping all of western philosophy into one group. (what do you include in this group? Besides Descartes, of course.)

    or

    Lumping all of eastern philosophy into one group. (what do you include in this group?)

    or

    Reducing both groups to dichotomic catch phrases.

      That’s the fundamental difference.

      Western philosophy is all about thinking, a separate sense of self, rationalism

      Eastern, Buddhism, daoism etc is the opposite
