By and large, western buddhism was packaged as a product and heavily retconned to a western (and psuedo-scientific) perspective. Individual practitioners (or interested parties) further retcon or read in what they wish to see - largely along their own interests. Case in point, emjay likes psychology and neuroscience..and so sees it in whatever is being referred to as "buddhist philosophy".
It's entirely likely that whatever emjay is referring to as buddhist philosophy bares about as much resemblance to the religion of buddhism as a fish does to an elephant.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
