@Meaningness ...on evaluating daos (ways, practices, bodies of thought) on their outcomes rather than 'truth'.
@St_Rev Interesting; is it easy to point me at where he does this? (Took quick look at his web site and didn’t find it.)
@Meaningness It's a major thesis of his book "A Daoist History of Chinese Thought". But try section 4.2 of http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/zhuangzi/ …
@Meaningness I guess it's a major fault line between Chinese and Dharmic thought.
@St_Rev Hmm, interesting… probably right… although the Buddhist understanding of “truth” is less absolutist than the Protestant/logical one.
@Meaningness Yeah but I think there's a case that the Dharmic understanding of the predicate is continuous w/Greek tradition.
@St_Rev Yes; cf http://www.amazon.com/Shape-Ancient-Thought-Comparative-Philosophies-ebook/dp/B007704Y80/ref=sr_1_1_twi_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1419906081&sr=8-1&keywords=shape+of+ancient+thought … which has issues but is fascinating and important and at least partly right.
