- Summary:
- In a bold new approach to philosophical studies, Dr. Chakravarthi Ram-Prasad presents a comprehensive survey of over 3000 years of Eastern thought from a decidedly non-Western perspective. A renowned expert in Eastern Philosophy, Dr. Ram-Prasad offers up an engaging examination of the great Asian philosophies on their own terms, along the way dispelling popular Western misconceptions about Eastern wisdom. Broad enough to encompass the full range of Eastern philosophies--from Buddhism to Daoism to Jainism--while also conveying the subtle beauty of each distinct tradition, this is a truly indispensable guide to the philosophical culture of the East.
