Western Philosophy vs Eastern Philosophy
  • I would like to elaborate on my intention to post the question.I don't have least bit knowledge on philosophy as a body of knowledge. My only sources are some videos on Youtube talking about different philosophical concept.I am not intend to accumulate knowledge in Philosophy. My problem is that at the moment i am developing a new communist theory.When i tried to learn why earlier communist attempt such as soviet union,china,india,cuba had failed ,what i understand is that they tried to change the world a bit fast.To make revolution fast the communists attempted radical methods which the world were not ready to accept.This is where i can see the influence of western philosophy on maxist-lennist ideology.The result oriented analysis,individualism of leaders such as lenin,stalin,mao,cetralisation of power are some of western ideas that i can see in marxist-leninist theories.

    Further, i define nature as a fundamental tendency of things.and i think the fundamental tendency of our world is based on coexistence,harmony and collective interest.In my opinion,western philosophy ignore the reality or try to see through outsider lens.i don't have a problem with that.but it leads to conflicts at least sometimes.These conflicts are resolved through power dynamics.which i think is unsustainable.

    My ultimate aim is to establish a conflict free society.and i think it possible only through establishment of communist society. So,would i be less wrong if i proceed with my new communist theory with eastern philosophical which try to make change standing along with nature than western philosophy?
