A western philosopher met an oriental one and asked:
"How is the western philosophy different from the oriental philosophy?"
The oriental philosopher said:
" When seeing an ant creeps on the back of an elephant, the western philoso pher says :"On the back of the elephant , there is an ant" but the oriental one says" Under the legs of the ant, there is an elephant""
I read this story in a book, but i don't understand why there is that difference . Can u explain?
thank you!
