Greetings. Some random comments on recent issues:

All philosophy is not Western, nor is it logical, and certainly formal logic
is not the paramount of philosophy.  Please explain in the context of logic
the notion of no mind in Zen Buddhism or the Tao.  Are these not Philosophy?

Truth is not necessarily deduced truth, nor is it necessarily the result of
causality.  Beauty is as good a criteria for Truth, as deduction and 
experimentation is for truth. 

Science is a philosophy.  Philosophy encompasses science.  The bounds of
Truth are not found in science.  Explain what Truth
one can know from a singular unique event using science.
Is this not Nothing?
