Do Chinese and African philosophers take into account Western thought? And if they don't, is that still ok, or are they racist as well?

- woodandsteel 9y agoIt is only in the West that the idea developed that there is objective truth and moral value that can be determined by natural reason available to all people in all cultures. The other civilizations held that truth and morality were confined to their own religion and own ethnic groups. The very idea of saying some set of ideas is bad because it is racist is a modern Western invention.
