On a serious note /lit/, I think the intentions are noble, but how can people honestly believe this? I don't find it reprehensible, so much as honestly confusing how anyone can say simultaneously that philosophy is the pursuit of truth and that truth is diverse.

Please no hate to these people, but I would love to hear an actually articulate argument for why this article makes any sense.

The German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer read the Latin translation and praised the Upanishads in his main work, The World as Will and Representation (1819), as well as in his Parerga and Paralipomena (1851).[200] He found his own philosophy was in accord with the Upanishads, which taught that the individual is a manifestation of the one basis of reality. For Schopenhauer, that fundamentally real underlying unity is what we know in ourselves as "will". Schopenhauer used to keep a copy of the Latin Oupnekhet by his side and commented,

It has been the solace of my life, it will be the solace of my death.[201]

Another German philosopher, Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling, praised the ideas in the Upanishads,[202] as did others.[203] In the United States, the group known as the Transcendentalists were influenced by the German idealists. Americans, such as Emerson and Thoreau embraced Schelling's interpretation of Kant's Transcendental idealism, as well as his celebration of the romantic, exotic, mystical aspect of the Upanishads. As a result of the influence of these writers, the Upanishads gained renown in Western countries.[204]

There's the rift. I dislike the ambiguous concept of morality as a whole. It is highly fragmented, rigid dependent on situations, and an illusion more than anything. Power itself is innate to all humans, but it is exercised over those with less power in often manipulative ways. There's no circumventing this fact by any other means than absurdity. We see the honor in people joining the military because we are explicitly aware of them putting their lives on the line for value. Personal intention and motivation for joining aside, The entire exercise of surmounting power is fundamentally flawed, and fits within no moral framework. It is objectively unjustifiable, and contradicts most systems of beliefs.

>We therefore suggest that any department that regularly offers courses only on Western philosophy should rename itself “Department of European and American Philosophy.” This simple change would make the domain and mission of these departments clear, and would signal their true intellectual commitments to students and colleagues.
...
>Others might argue against renaming on the grounds that it is unfair to single out philosophy: We do not have departments of Euro-American Mathematics or Physics. This is nothing but shabby sophistry. Non-European philosophical traditions offer distinctive solutions to problems discussed within European and American philosophy, raise or frame problems not addressed in the American and European tradition, or emphasize and discuss more deeply philosophical problems that are marginalized in Anglo-European philosophy. There are no comparable differences in how mathematics or physics are practiced in other contemporary cultures.

The problem is that European civilization was unique in its higher degree of global interconnections. World history is demonstrably Eurocentric. Sure, Black Africa impinged on this but didn't participate in it to the same degree... it's peripheral.

>>12566278
Honestly, for the first time I don't entirely disagree. If you're studying philosophy, then you should study all philosophy.

The problem is that when you start "diversifying" the curriculum, it inevitably won't be a critical examination of non-European philosophies. It'll be yet another 'brown-man-good-white-man-bad' course. If professors and students were free to deconstruct the garbage put out by Chinese or African philosophers then I'd be all for it, but they won't be.

>>12566386
>If they Jews weren't the strongest, purest, toughest race in Europe, how did they attain such pre-eminence? By stealth and treachery?
Obviously. Are Jews pre-eminent in any other society? Do Jews rule China, or India? No. Because the success of the Jew is not a product of the greatness of the Jew, it is the result of a quality of Europeans, a quality that is *only* found among Europeans: compassion.

This is why the Jew is to be despised: because he only survives through the compassion of those whose culture, religion and society he attacks at every turn. Even as churches packed with thousands of Christians pray for the salvation of the Jew in the Holy Land, in Jerusalem or Haifa Jews spit upon and kick their Christian neighbours. The gentile in Hollywood writes a Jewish hero, and the Jew responds by writing a Christian villain. When a Jew does something bad he is white, but when a Jew does something good he is a Jew before anything else. The Christian is a scapegoat, and the Jew pours out his sins upon him and then slaughters him - even as the Jew puts his boot upon a Palestinian child and presses a gun against her head, the word 'shoah' is on his lips, and he expects the world to hear only that decades old echo, not the cries of the child who is right there. The Jew believes in the absolute truth of the Holocaust not because of evidence, not because of faith, but because that is *exactly* what he would have done if he were Hitler, what he does do, what he will forever do to all those unfortunate enough to come into his power.

I’m not as well-read in philosophy as I wish I were but I really think there’s something of a potential philosophical renaissance in the fusion of Western and Eastern traditions of thought. I respect both traditions a lot.

PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENTS HAVE TO REMAIN WHITE

Here in my country the philosophy department in our best university started accepting and even having affirmative action for NIGGERS and the more that they INFEST it the worse it becomes. It leans more and more left with these fucking NIGGERS and the Department is each time dirtier, more leftist, stupider the more those thrash are accepted. Now we have things like "ANTI-FASCIST BLACK UNION" and BLACK STUDIES by the philosophy department and you can see that the quality of everything has considerably gone down because the philosophy department are becoming progressively more non-white, leftist and more accepting of stupid people (NIGGERS). Philosophy should be a thing for smart white people, not stupid fucking niggers that can't do physics and instead choose the easiest area of study to enter and end up just thrashing the school.

I mean uuh, sure, but what non-western philosophy is there? Bushido?

In principle, the study of philosophy should include non-Western traditions. Thought requires the mind to be open to ideas, all ideas.

It doesn't require it to be open to people, though.

In practice however, in this current political / cultural context, I cannot be in favor of further diversification of philosophy departments. The implementation is likely to be shit and turn into another ''white man bad, brown man good'' narrative.

Furthermore, it should be expected and accepted that philosophy departments, in the West, focus on Western philosophy, and not some other philosophy, just like Japanese philosophy departments should include many classes on Japanese philosophy and culture.

But then why are people in China studying Western philosophy more than Westerners are studying Chinese philosophy? Because of the West's cultural dominance, and especially because of its recent cultural dominance.

Dominance isn't binary though, and works in degrees. It's why presumably very few people in China study contemporary African thought, but those in Africa above 100 IQ might just study Chinese thought more than Chinese would study African thought.

Lastly, I have barely seen any mentions of Maistre, Burke, Schmitt... in my curriculum. On the other hand, feminist subjects are not uncommon at all. Nobody is bothered by this, especially not those begging for more diversity. Where's the diversity for non-leftists thinkers?

I cannot take these people with good faith.

>>12566278
The sad thing is this article is absolutely correct. If philosophy is truly the pursuit of truth, then one should be open to methods of exploring the truth outside of their own limited socio-cultural framework. Instead, though, too many Westerners have come to incorrectly assume that their way of coming to the truth is the only way possible. It's become a religion in-and-onto itself.

Western civilisation would unironically, absolutely, perfectly, entirely and undeniably be improved by opening itself up to ideas from Daoist philosophy, Sufi metaphysics, Hindu theology, Japanese aesthetics, etc. The problem is most people aren't looking to actually improve their society. They're just looking to have their personal ideas reaffirmed, even if it means shunning wisdom when presented to them.

>Truth exists, and it's our job as philosophers to seek it, in all its manifestations. Shutting ourselves off from any sources of wisdom because of superficial political concerns isn't philosophy - that's just egotism.

Doesn't address the question. I'll ask again: how aren't the philosophers in the OP doing the exact same thing? Many of the reasons in the OP are grounded in the mainstream political ideology of western elites (globalist multiculturalism), using "flower language" like "diversity" to stand in for argument. How is that seeking truth? Additionally, both of them are scholars in the non-western tradition. They have a vested interest in their research getting more funding. How isn't that egotism?

>>12566386
People never want their life to be their fault. The reason why the patriarchy is such a popular idea. If you're a Jew you already see how the world hates you for your success. It's the best starting point, you know you're in for a uphill climb but you also know there's nothing stopping you but yourself.

>You wish you could sneak as well as they can.
It's seriously funny how Jews are suppose to be doing everything in stealth while everyone else is constantly talking about how sneaky they are. Everyone plays extra close attention to them because they're suppose to be so devious, but they still keep getting away with it?

The only proof people have is Jews are disproportionately successful. So I guess you also believe in white privilege because whites are disproportionately successful and men too. Or maybe it has to do with values.

>>12568965
For what it's worth, I do actually agree that "diversity-for-diversity's sake" is a rather pointless endeavour. I promote increasing access to non-Western ideas for the sake of truth, not for the sake of the comings and goings of social identities of the day. I will concede that point to you, by my point still remains that focusing on just "Western" philosophy in universities is an unfortunate way to shut our culture off from much wisdom and learning.

>Is there a fundamental difference between "Western" and "Eastern" philosophy to begin with though? Isn't it all just philosophy?
western philosophy is more rationalistic and individualistic, which means it naturally makes more sense to westerners. not sure if that satisfies what you mean by "fundamental." i can't see why the philosophies discussed in a university should be proportionally representative of all world philosohpies. this seems arbitrary and based on the false premise that all philosophies are equal.

>>12569048
>this seems arbitrary and based on the false premise that all philosophies are equal
Well, this is where you're probably going to disagree with me, but I genuinely think the Western world has lost a true sense of understanding of what philosophy is actually supposed to *be.* From what I can tell, based on my own research and experiences, is that philosophy is actually supposed to be a method for spiritual and psychological growth, similar to the approach that the Buddhists and Hindus have. Now, I'm not saying Westerner's aren't interested in that, but it really seems like the main focus of Western philosophy is just to come up with "good ideas", without any true regard for their practically in a person's actual, lived-in, day-to-day experience.

The only two philosophical traditions worth anyone's time are the European and Islamic ones, because they were the only ones with any degree of (proto)academic rigor

'Orientalism' as a pejorative epithet is not wholly without value, but its fast-and-loose misuse by Said, who tarred Goethe and Henry Kissinger with the charge equally, has lead to this absurd academic juncture in which anyone who doesn't meet the blood requirements to be designated "of colour" cannot comment on or engage critically with anything outside of their strictly delimited "lane" is by default for having the temerity to say "this is what I think about the Islamic Revolution" or "I have a theory concerning the development of state institutions in post-colonial African states".

Goethe and Schopenhauer clearly regarded the Eastern texts they engaged with (Hafez and various texts in the Hindu and Buddhist canons, respectively) with the utmost respect and lavish praise. The idea that every European intellectual who wrote about anything pertaining to Africa or Asia prior to the publication of Said's deeply flawed treatise is guilty on some level of outright racism - which, to be clear, is what being an 'Orientalist' means you are - is utterly ahistorical. Incidentally the best critiques of Said's work are from Marxists from the Middle East, like Sadiq Jalal 'al-'Azm and Gilbert Achcar. The contemptible phenomenon of "Babby learns about Orientalism and Said at undergrad and proceeds to find a useful, academically hegemonic epithet to instantly any writer of a particular race who writes about Africa or Asia" will not cease until more academics stand up and challenge Said's absurdity.

So by that logic crony capitalists just get their rightful rewards for being the most talented at sneaky underhanded and dirty manipulation too.

(((they))) are digging their own grave with this, oriental philosophy is based and redpilled. Think about it: every blue pill is made of western philosophy.

Yikes. A summary of the Western perception of Oriental philosophy.

Because whites are the only race with souls.

there are already parallels between daoist thought and heidegger, and the influence of mystical movements like sufiism can be seen in the works of bergson or any philosophy of immanence. japanese aesthetics are extremely influential, most architecture schools require you to read "in praise of shadows". there is a lot of interesting dialogue going on across cultures that is just blatantly ignored by people on both the left and the right.

why is calling someone tough guy on the internet such a basic, go-to insult?
if he'd been threatening to shoot you with his guns I'd agree but right now you're acting like a little bitch
