Synopsis:
This volume is the first introduction to all the main philosophical systems of the world, written by a highly successful textbook author. It is the ideal textbook for use on all courses in comparative philosophy, multicultural philosophy, and the history of philosophy.
Unique in its breadth, World Philosophies introduces philosophy from the time of Ancient India, China and Greece up to the present day. These philosophical systems are viewed as attempts to provide integrated accounts of the place of human beings within the wider order of things, and to determine in the light of these philosophies the proper conduct of human life.
