<p>True. But aren't they, often, asking the same questions as the analytics, but only taking a riskier approach through foregoing logic? Nietzsche, for example, wrote on the origin of ethics with dubious arguments to back up his claims. Whereas, in Eastern Philosophy, they are, for the most part, not attempting to answer such questions.</p>

<p>Yes, but continental philosophers also attempt to answer such questions; most realize, however, that they reach the same conclusions as analytic philosophers, though by using a more circuitous method (if it can be called a method).</p>
<p>Eastern philosophy can be absurd at times; I remember reading that one method for connecting to the realm between being and not-being (p and ~p) is that of performing auto-fellatio.</p>
<p>Well, perhaps that's why our friend kevin was so warmed and incited by his course in Eastern phil.</p>
<p>yo the wait isn't really that bad. luckily, i haven't thought about it that much. The true anxiety will hit 1 week before the date they send out mail/emails.</p>
<p>I just feel great learning new ideas but either i accept or reject those ideas will be a long story... :) anyone share this view too?</p>
<p>Also note that the course i'm taking is "WESTERN + EASTERN ETHICS" with the focus on "WESTERN" more ...</p>
