Talk, debate, question, your favorite/least favorite Asian Philosophies. If there is enough interest I'll start a topic of the week sort of thing.

Confucius - any part, Disputers such as Mo-tzu and Mohist, or supporters such as Mencius and Hsun-tzu
Taoism
Legalism
Nishida
Buddhism
And more.

Note- I do not claim to be an expert on any of these, but I will answer any questions to the best of my knowledge, and/or look it up in a text book.

I've always been interested in Asian Phil, but sadly, I don't know much. What I knew about Confucius has left my mind and I kinda hate that it did, but he did have some every interesting philosophies.

Yeah, the little I learned about him in the 2ish week crash course on him I just took was fascinating. I especially liked the focus on the human being and the human condition.

One of my favorite analects is book 4 analect 14, something along the lines of do not worry because you do not have a job, worry about your qualifications. Do not worry that no one appreciates you, instead worry about being worthy of appreciation.
