 The Kyoto School has never doubted that “philosophy,” in the historically specific sense, is originally a cultural product of the Western tradition. But they also recognize that it, like Western science and technology, has universal implications that can be developed by peoples around the globe. This does not mean that they think Western philosophy is free of unrecognized cultural biases and limitations, or that traditional Eastern thought has nothing essential to offer the development of philosophy in a post-Eurocentric world. They recognize the difference between the global potentialities and the still parochial actualities of philosophy, and their Japanese contributions aim to make philosophy more, not less, worldly.
