Do you have any suggested material on your first two sentences?
Think beginner that has mainly focused on western ideas wanting to get a foundation in eastern philosophy and then go from there.
- hindsightbias 6y agoSorry, no. But it would be a good question for one of the reddit philosophy forums. There probably are comparative religion classes/books that discuss Eastern religion/philosophy from a western perspective. I would expect Vietnamese socially tied to different eras like Catholic, French colony and Marxist to have very different views. What they share in common must be pretty fascinating.
- stanrivers 6y agoInteresting to think that Vietnam might have a mix of all those cultures. I guess the same can be said about Macao or Hong Kong - you had traditional east asian cultures mixed very recently with western culture. I wonder if there are any examples of the reverse?
