Hmm …

… 10 Schools of Philosophy that should be better known (in the West) | Julian Baggini | Granta. (Hat tip, Rus Bowden.)



A most peculiar piece. Take the item on Russian philosophy. It is rather short on specifics. I've read a lot of Berdyaev and Shestov. I find them both impressive. But they are hardly the whole story. There's also

Solovyov. And the altogether different Belinsky, Herzen, Florensky, Sorokin.



I also don't think that many people who know anything of philosophy are unaware of Pragmatism.

My own philosophical training was in Scholasticism and Existential Phenomenology. It is good, I think, to start with a vantage point.
