    WESTERN AND EASTERN PHILOSOPHY ON HUMAN FLOURISHING

    Eastern and Western philosophy have different approaches when it comes to


    understanding and achieving human flourishing.

    Western philosophy, which includes the works of Aristotle and the Stoics, generally
    emphasizes individualism, reason, and the pursuit of happiness as the key to human
    flourishing. In Western philosophy, human flourishing is seen as the achievement of
    personal goals and the fulfillment of individual desires. Western philosophy also
    emphasizes the importance of reason and logic in understanding the world and making
    ethical decisions.

    On the other hand, Eastern philosophy, including the works of Confucius, Lao Tzu, and
    the Buddha, tends to focus more on community, interconnectedness, and the cultivation
    of inner peace as a means to human flourishing. In Eastern philosophy, human
    flourishing is seen as the result of living in harmony with others and with nature. This
    involves developing virtues such as compassion, kindness, and humility, and letting go
    of attachment to material possessions and desires.

    While both Eastern and Western philosophy share a common goal of understanding
    what it means to live a good life, they approach this goal in different ways. Western
    philosophy emphasizes the importance of individualism, reason, and personal
    fulfillment, while Eastern philosophy emphasizes interconnectedness, harmony, and
    inner peace.
