East Asia

South Asia

Southeast Asia

West Asia

me reading this thread: lol

Notice how philosophy from Asia is never just philosophy but always "Eastern Philosophy." This is a disclaimer to warn readers that it is not actually philosophy, similar to the way Chinese Medicine is not actually medicine.

What do you expect you fucking retard

In Asian countries, Asian schools of thought are referred to conventionally and simplistically while the mess of 'Western' philosophy is referred to as specifically Western

China was an agrarian, third world country no less than 25 years ago; they have a consequentialist morality and no space nor need for metacognition. Korea is a meme. Japan has a large middle class but is festering in menial labour so much there is no demand for philosophy. Note that throughout history demand for philosophy was always spearheaded by the educated aristocracy while nowadays everything's demand strongly relies on the Middle Class - most of East Asia's is too preoccupied with slaving away in offices. A 'philosophical' society requires a well-established aristocratic class or middle class

Some of that mindfulness crap will do you a lot better than reading all of Hegel.

>China was an agrarian, third world country no less than 25 years ago

Then why did they have fucking 100 schools of thought in the early days of the empire if it was because they were farming?
Not to mention Neo-Confucianism and Neo-Taoism still going at it for centuries up until the actual fall of the empire.

China's just way more authoritarian than even during the imperial days, say it as it is, word salad fucker.

>Korea is a meme.

What does that even mean?

>Japan has a large middle class but is festering in menial labour

Shit explanation.
Anglo's get hard-ons when they talk about their strong work ethic, but at least they still have a philosopher every now and then.
