Differences between Chinese and Western Philosophy

The differences between Chinese and Western philosophy are as follows:

Chinese philosophy is divided into ancient philosophy and modern philosophy. Ancient philosophy mainly refers to the "Spring and Autumn Hundred Schools of Thought", "Han and Tang Confucianism and Taoism", "the development of Confucianism in the Song Dynasty" and "the fusion of East and West in the modern era". "Four stages. Modern philosophy mainly refers to "the study of ancient Chinese philosophy" and "the study of Western philosophy" It can be said that "the aesthetic theory of Taoism represents the true spirit of Chinese art ."

Western philosophy is a unified philosophical system with the same historical tradition and a unified conceptual system, and the definition of Western philosophy is vague. In the American philosopher Tilly's "History of Western Philosophy" although it mentions pre-Marx socialist philosophers like Irving, not a word about Marx (Tilly's "History of Western Philosophy" is written from Ancient Greek Philosophy to American Positivist Philosophy whose time span includes Marx).

Russell's History of Western Philosophy mentions Marx, though, and he says he speaks of Marx because he was the philosopher who had a major influence on Western philosophy. The "West" in Western philosophy is widely taken to mean not only the geographical "West (Western Europe)" but also the cultural "West (the capitalist world)".
