 It was stipulated at the beginning that comparative philosophy brings together philosophical traditions that have developed in relative isolation from one another. It is time to emphasize the ‘relative’ qualifier. A common assumption of those who do philosophy in the West nowadays is that it had its roots in Greece. Park (2013), however, has argued that the more common view in the eighteenth century was that it began in India and/or Africa, which then passed it onto Greece. And as Van Norden (2017) points out, European philosophers who encountered Chinese thought in the 17th century immediately recognized it as philosophy. The Jesuits, who were deeply trained in philosophy, produced the first major translation of the Analects into a European language, and titled it Confucius Sinarum Philosophus (Confucius the Chinese Philosopher, 1687). Leibniz was greatly struck by the way the Book of Changes represents the structure of the world through a system of broken and unbroken lines, which he believed to bear uncanny resemblance to his invention of binary arithmetic, which was to become the digital language of computers.
