“For a long while, Western philosophy has had little to do with the philosophical traditions of India and China. A common view … was that all thought in the Asian traditions was not philosophy, but religion or mysticism. But now, slowly, Western philosophers are starting to engage with Asian thought … Graham Priest, Professor of Philosophy at Melbourne University, talks about what these philosophers are finding there, and why it’s often challenging for someone who knows only Western philosophy.”

 Philosophy in another tongue

“Philosophy aspires to universal truths but it has to do so in a
particular language. How does the language in which philosophy is
expressed affect what can and cannot be said, and how does translation
affect our understanding of it? … we ask a Chinese philosopher
how different Confucius is in English and we consider attempts to make
Plato sound as though he came from Oxford.”
