What if the Analects of Confucius, Dao De Jing, the Vedas, the Pāli Canon and other texts of various Eastern philosophies were translated, printed and widespread in the late Renaissance? By the time of the Enlightenment period, they are re-translated, new works rediscovered from China and India, and there is fierce debate among Enlightenment scholars based on these Eastern philosophies.

What happens next? How does philosophy evolve differently?
