Eastern and western philosophy

The core of oriental philosophy is to pursue the truth beyond the boundaries of language and logic, and think that truth is unspeakable. In reality, it pays more attention to human relations and ignores logical rationality.

The core of western philosophy is to hope that everything can resort to logical rationality, which is the essential attribute of human beings. Only through logical rationality can we grasp the truth of things and construct a system through logic to interpret realistic and perceptible phenomena.

In contrast, oriental philosophy can be described in one sentence, which can be summarized as philosophy; Western philosophy can be described as deductive philosophy in one sentence.
