By reading the comments, I had the feeling (maybe I am wrong, my apologies if I am) that most don&#x27;t get the gist of the argument here.<p>If you are already in the mindset of the Western Philosophical tradition, I have to concur that this article seems silly, as many have already pointed out. However, for those of us that while studying philosophy don&#x27;t live on Europe or North America (the Anglo-European Philosophical Studies perspective mentioned on the article) and who already feel like second class citizens of the philosophical world, the article is spot-on.<p>Living in South America and studying philosophy (I am a graduate student in Brazil), the whole notion that the only true philosophical tradition is the Eurocentric one has other and more profound meanings and implications (even though, as I believe, most are unintentional side-effects of history). It is as if the old view of &#x27;we enlightened [Christian] Europeans&#x27; vs. &#x27;you poor wretched uneducated savages&#x27; comes back to haunts us once again (this is just a rough sketch just to give an idea — things are far more complex than this, obviously). That being said, the authors&#x27; point, from this perspective, seems much more valid — and even liberating.
