Q: “What are the major differences between Eastern and Western philosophies?”
Quite a bit of research on the subject. (Suggest Huntington) In the most reductive of terms: Chinese langauge is unforutnately good for poetry and analogy and not for logic or precision. English is the opposite. All germanics are the opposite. indo european langauges in general are the opposite. In technical terms this means chinese is a low precision high context language, and english is a high precision low context language. Even as such we can still separate philosophy into math, science, Logic, Rationalism, Reason, literature, and Myth....
