What causes this? Why is it only Europe that cares for humanity?

Indian philosophy also has plenty of treatises on epistemology, metaphysics, and logic. You shouldn't judge the breadth and depth of Indian philosophy from the content of your local mall's bookstore's section on Oriental spirituality books, just as you wouldn't reckon the contributions of Western philosophers by looking at self-improvement and paranomal phenomena at that same bookstore.

Also, you should bear in mind that a great number of Indian philosophical treatises are only available in ancient languages like Classical Sanskrit or Pali, and that unorthodox Chinese philosophical treatises were often some of the first books to be burnt whenever emperors or paramount chiefs wanted to purify the common folk's minds as part of the imposition of state-sanctioned doctrines like Confucianism, Legalism, and much more recently, Maoism.

European philosophy has just as many mystics. Plato being one of the first ones.

You just showed your inferiority complex. This thread doesn't even deserve a serious reply. Bye.
