Crucial question for Western Philosophy:
“What is the truth?” i.e. how to look before you leap.
Crucial question for Chinese Philosophy:
“Where is the Way?” i.e. how to leap without looking.
via A.C. Graham on page 3 of the ‘Disputers of the Tao’ who notes that
the crucial question for [Chinese philosophers] is not the Western philosopher’s ‘What is the truth?’ but ‘Where is the Way?’
