This push toward &quot;multicultural&quot; philosophy feels oddly out of place in a time when most philosophy departments are moving&#x2F;have moved firmly toward logic, philosophy of science, and&#x2F;or cognitive science.<p>At my undergrad university, the philosophy department, in terms of courses taught and faculty research, was basically a cognitive science department in all but name.  I know there are other programs that lean similarly toward math&#x2F;logic, philosophy of science or epistemology.<p>In such programs, the Western philosophers the article is complaining about warrant at most a course of two in the history of philosophy (ironically called &quot;History of Western Philosophy&quot; in many universities for many years).<p>This sounds more like some kind of ideological&#x2F;political battle that the authors may be fighting in their departments more than any kind of overriding statement about how philosophy is taught in most schools.
