It won't come all at once like an epiphany. But your philosophical
reading will help to shape your concepts. I'm not academically
trained in philosophy, either, though I've been studying it for
several decades. Buddhism and Taoism, properly translated, will give
you some pretty prose which may put you in touch with your feelings,
but you won't learn philosophy from it, at least not in the logical,
dialectical sense.
Ham,
This is just not true. I don't know about Toaism, but Buddhism has a
very long tradition of logical debate.
"This article presents the formal background to Buddhist logic which
started at about 500 CE in ancient India and still has a living
tradition in the Tibetan Gelug order. Like the logic of Aristotle,
ancient Indian logic is a highly formal system although it has not
been developed in a context of a symbolic language."
