Relation of the philosophy of good to the conflict


between the east and the west.

Individualism in the West and Collectivism in the East are the primary distinctions between
their schools of thought or ideologies. Eastern philosophy is increasingly being incorporated
into groups, societies, or people's actions and thoughts as a whole in order to find meaning in
life as they seek to rid themselves of the false "me" concept and discover the true "me" in
relation to everything around them, or as part of a larger scheme. Western civilization, on the
other hand, is more individualistic, attempting to find purpose in life today, with the self at
the center since it is already given and part of the divine.
Western philosophy, on the other hand, is founded on a commitment to serve others. Service
to God, money, community, and so on are all part of life. Because of its Christian impact,
finding meaning requires a beginning and an end. In comparison to the East's view of
everlasting and repeating, Western philosophy is logical, scientific, and reasonable.
Virtues are also important in Eastern philosophy. This can be explained by a selfless attitude
toward life. The secret is to be content with what one has. Meanwhile, Western philosophy is
concerned with ethical issues. Individuals must perform what is required of them without
causing harm to others. Success is determined by how far one can travel without harming
others. Eastern philosophy is also more spiritual in nature, whilst Western philosophy is more
practical. As one concentrates on seeking truth and significance, the "I" of the West differs
from the "We" of the East.
