This book examines the key ideas that developed within the ancient civilisations of India and China. It presents a range of philosophies that both inform discussion of personal, moral and social issues, and also address the fundamental questions about the nature of reality and the place and purpose of human life within it.
From the exotic images of sexual Tantra to the simple precision of Zen, or from the social order in traditional Confucian teaching to the rich variety of Hindu ideas and lifestyles, Eastern Philosophy provides a feast of ideas of universal relevance.
It looks at the ethical and social implications of Eastern Philosophy, and all the key terms are given in their original language and are fully explained. It also points to parallels with Western thought, where appropriate, and provides essential background information for appreciating the religions of India and the Far East.
