One interesting aspect I was reading is that the philosophy is treated differently because Chinese language functions quite differently.

Chinese is a non-inflected langauges and focuses upon Names. There is no case, no tense. There is only one plural -"men".

Women hen gaoxing jian dao ni. It's a naming game.

English and European languages focus upon propositions, and most are highly to slightly inflected.
