== Western philosophy vs. Eastern philosophy == 

 I have removed the section "Eastern vs Western".  It makes the demonstrably false claim that people (meaning philosophers?) in the West  only become aware of other philosophical systems after WWII.  What do we make of Schopenhauer, then?  And all the other non-philosophical stuff like Madame Blavatsky &c.;  The sentence " It also became clear that these systems lay geographically east of the United State, Europe, North Africa, and eastern Asia." is banal in the extreme.  The sentence that begins "And it was no coincidence that …" has no main verb.  So it goes.  There needs to be something about the Eastern/Western thing.  But this will not do.
