Just attended a ceremony at UBC where the wonderful Sarah Polley was made an honorary doctor. She admitted in her address that she suffers from terrible stage fright. Talk about facing your demons!

The hemispheric terms are not useful though. East and south Asian traditions are so different, philosophy in the tradition originating in Europe is not confined to a β€œwestern” hemisphere. I use β€œEuro” philosophy to refer to that tradition, including its offshoots around the world.

We speak of β€œeighteenth-century philosophy.” It’s not monolithic either, but it can be a serviceable category.
