Somehow I feel like if philosophy departments took Confucianism to heart, the NYT would start rolling around uncomfortably.<p>On the other hand, how diversified are philosophy departments in Chongqing, or Beijing?  Should we push them to match the NYTs expectations?<p>We all start with seeing things from our own perspectives and understanding (as does the NYT itself) and when we get done with that if we have the desire we can delve into less exposed areas.  Should we be pushed into it?  I dunno.  Maybe when were one big massive global culture which has destroyed local uniqueness.
