Okay, it's a quiet Saturday evening and the crowds are already past this fad, so... I'll tweet one unpopular opinion per Like within 30min of this tweet. Limit 15, but I'll try to make them as real as I can without naming names.

This is brilliant. 'Western philosophy isn't real philosophy' - I vaguely remember seeing tomes of Dr. S. Radhakrishnan in your bookshelf when you posted pictures. :)

The 3-way western divorce between philosophy, literature, and theology in the West strongly impoverished the philosophy piece. I look to the literature and (christian) theology in the west for the higher quality western philosophy thinking.

+1 particularly for intelligible continental philosohy like after finitude by Quentin meilleisoux. Blew my mind in 2008. What do you see as the strong eastern philosophy out of curiousity? And where do you place someone like amartya sen?

Eastern is not actually a good natural dual to western. I'd say female philosophy is a better dual. The characteristic feature of western philosophy is it's gender rather than geography. It's very masculine.
