Synopsis
Eastern philosophy is the most ancient form of thought known to man, predating western philosophy by some centuries. Dissatisfaction with materialism is turning westerners towards the integrated approach of eastern thought, but often in a vague and generalised form. This book focuses on India and China, the two oldest and most influential origins of eastern thought. It elucidates the complex schools of Hindu philosophy, the offshoots of Indian Buddhism, the traditions of Confucius and the Tao in China, and demonstrates their fundamental differences from western notions of truth. It makes clear the eastern view of ultimate reality, the emphasis on selfless ethics and the quest for Enlightenment, and shows how these ides are set in a cosmic whole in contrast to the western individual and scientific perspective. This book should be a guide for the western reader to the historical and philosophical basis of eastern cultures.

Softcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Risse; Geknickte Ecken. "Disenchantment with the underlying materialism of much of present-day society is driving many Westerners towards the integrated approach of Eastern philosophy, but often in a vague and generalized form." "In this introduction to the world's oldest philosophies, Richard Osborne and Borin Van Loon brilliantly elucidate the complex strands of Eastern thought from Confucius to Buddha and Islam to Tao. They explain the emphasis on the "nature of being", and on ethical and communal principles." "They also illuminate the search for Enlightenment, showing how these ideas are set within a cosmic whole rather than a framework of practical, scientific, and individual thought."--Jacket.
