It’s not a specific topic or idea today. It’s a region.
When we look at Eastern approaches to health and lifestyle we see what looks – to our Western “here, take 2 of these and call me in the morning” lifestyle – like a more integrative, holistic approach to the body, mind, and spirit. When I summarize what my impression is, I would say that Eastern philosophers and practitioners don’t recognize a separation between the mind, body, and spirit. 🙂
So, Eastern philosophers for Friday Philosophy.
