>>The old testament is not a western philisophy, it is in fact an eastern philosphy as well...

by my definition...the old testament is western (so is hinduism to an extent). that's all. just to clear up the set of values i'm dealing with. thus if i say old testament= western, it is best to ask WHY I said that vs. assuming i'm operating within your solution set...

>>And if in asking your original question above you meant eastern philsophies(which by the way aren't older than the old testament reffering to one of your earlier posts),

did i say eastern philosophies were older? if so, where?
