:As an academic discipline, Indonesian philosophy is brand new. But, as a tradition, Indonesian philosophy includes worldviews, set of beliefs, religious speculations. I can show you Mel that your Western philosophy is not distinctive and not original too, if you really exaggerate that Indonesian philosophy is not distinctive and original. I just wonder how in this hybrid cultural interaction we can talk about the originality or authenticity of philosophy. Plato learned philosophy from Egypt, Mao Tse Tung learned from Lenin and Stalin, Nietzsche learned Buddhism, so I think it is no wonder Indonesians learn from you Westerners. No originality? Three of you Westerners read Plato's Phaedo. Each of you cannot reach similar conclusion. Why? Everybody has different understanding and with this difference, you can conclude differently in the form of different understanding, different philosophies. That had been done by Averroes, Avicenna, Thomas Aquinas, Albertus Magnus, when they read Plato's and Aristotle's works
