'''Eastern Philosophy''' comprises mainly the thought of: [[Zoroastrianism]], [[Buddhism]], [[Hinduism]], [[Confucianism]], [[Taoism]], [[Islamism]] and [[Jainism]]. All this thoughts are as distinct from each other as they are from Western philosophy. However there has been important influences between them. Some examples are the influence of [[Greek]] philosophy on [[Arab]] thought and the interest of [[Hegel]] in Taoism.
<blockquote>
Edward Conze, in his ''Buddhist Thought in India'', sees an unfortunate conceptual barrier between Eastern philosophy and contemporary Western philosophy. Eastern philosophy, he argues, is grounded in a metaphysical position that the [[universe]] has various layers of reality. The outer layer involves our ordinary perceptions of things, and the inner layer is a unified reality that permeates everything, including humans.
