for me the first thing to come to mind is "nothing." and the experience of philosophy is not something that should be sought in the western sense of the term. my question is "do philosophers have to be literal, and do they have to know a language?" can philosophy be spread verbally as opposed to literally (written) and/or non-verbally as opposed to verbally. i think that perhaps you are explaining the same concept, perhaps in a different way.
Hey washboard,
have you read Wittgenstein?
He had a similar view as you do. Also Derrida and other semioticians/ post structuralists.
I don't agree ideologically with western philosophy, but I am not sure we should abandon it completely. Keep me updated on your thinking. ;)
