Tibetan Teen Getting
Into Western
Philosophy
LHASA, TIBET—Deng Hsu, 14, said
Monday that he is “totally getting into
Western been read-
ing a lot of Kant, Descartes, and
Hegel, and it’s blowing my mind,” Hsu
said. “It’s so exotic and exciting, not
like all that Buddhist ‘being is desire
and desire is suffering’ shit my par-
ents have been cramming down my
throat all my life. Most of the kids in
my school have never even heard of
Hume’s views on objectivity or
Locke’s tabula rasa.” Hsu said he
