Description: Provides a detailed but accessible analysis of the work of nearly sixty thinkers from all of the major Eastern philosophical traditions, from the earliest times to the present day. Covering systems, schools, and individuals, Eastern Philosophy presents founder figures such as Zoroaster and Muhammad as well as modern thinkers such as Nishida Kitaro, perhaps the preeminent figure within modern Japanese philosophy. This is a thought-provoking and stimulating exploration of fundamental ideas and an array of personalities that is sure to encourage further investigation.--From publisher description.
