Why Asian Philosophy?

Western philosophy has had little to do with the philosophical traditions of India and China. Indeed, a common view amongst Western philosophers was that all thought in the Asian traditions was not philosophy, but religion or mysticism. This attitude is now changing as, slowly, Western philosophers are starting to engage with Asian thought. In this event Graham Priest will talk about what these philosophers are finding there, and why this is often challenging for someone who knows only Western philosophy.

Presented by Monash University
