Geographic divisions in Philosophy articles

This is a proposed Wikiproject Philosophystandard of practice.Please feel free to edit it, and join the discussion in the Talk page.

Philosophical discussion is often posited on geographic presumptions. Eastern philosophy is clumped together and opposed by the ubiquitous "western" philosophy, analytic philosophy is juxtaposed to "continental" philosophy.

In writing philosophical articles, these distinctions should be avoided.

  • These distinctions are based on geography, not on the links between philosophical traditions.
  • There is considerable interplay between Eastern and Western philosophical traditions, and between Continental and Analytic traditions. Articles should discuss these relations, rather than force the traditions apart.


=Eastern and western

Analytic and continental
