The ‘Eastern’ Origins of ‘Western’ Philosophy: Against Eurocentricism

Adib-Moghaddam, Arshin

Abstract

The article sets the signposts of a theft in history, as it charters the way the discipline of Philosophy has been narrated as a ‘western’ system of thought. We follow the global sources of Philosophy and establish how better knowledge and education can develop, once the myths of the past are overcome.
