First published in 1938. Previous translations of the Analects of
Confucius are based upon a medieval interpretation which reflects
the philosophy of the 12th century A.D rather than of the 5th
century B.C., when Confucius lived. This book detaches the Analects
from the Scholastic interpretation and lets these famous sayings
speak for themselves.
First published in 1947. The Spirit of Chinese Philosophy covers
the major philosophers and philosophical movements in China from
Confucius to the middle of the twentieth century including:
Confucius, Mencius, Yang Chu and Mo Ti, the Dialecticians and
Logicians, Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu, The Han Scholars, The Mystical
School, The Ch'an Tsung of Buddhism, The Neo-Confucianist
Philosophy.
First published in 1934. Unlike previous translations, this
translation of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching is based not on the medieval
commentaries but on a close study of the whole of early Chinese
literature.
Western thinking has long been dominated by essence, by a
preoccupation with that which dwells in itself and delimits itself
from the other. By contrast, Far Eastern thought is centred not on
essence but on absence. The fundamental topos of Far Eastern
thinking is not being but 'the way' (dao), which lacks the solidity
and fixedness of essence. The difference between essence and
absence is the difference between being and path, between dwelling
and wandering. 'A Zen monk should be without fixed abode, like the
clouds, and without fixed support, like water', said the Japanese
Zen master D gen. Drawing on this fundamental distinction between
essence and absence, Byung-Chul Han explores the differences
between Western and Far Eastern philosophy, aesthetics,
architecture and art, shedding fresh light on a culture of absence
that may at first sight appear strange and unfamiliar to those in
the West whose ways of thinking have been shaped for centuries by
the preoccupation with essence.
This is a fresh, contemporary translation of Sun Tzu's The Art of
War for the 21st century. As well as its historical importance, it
is one of the most influential political and business books of our
era. This edition rediscovers the essential clarity of the ancient
masterpiece, cited by generals from a dozen Chinese dynasties,
international business leaders, and modern military field manuals.
It also contains a full commentary on Sun Tzu, the man and his
ideas, contemporary of Confucius and Buddha; and a critical guide
to further reading. This is the perfect introduction to one of the
world's best-known classics. This beautiful Macmillan Collector's
Library edition of The Art of War is translated and edited by
author and scriptwriter Jonathan Clements. Designed to appeal to
the book lover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of
beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan
Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.
While prophethood is the backbone of the Islamic tradition and an
uncompromised tenet of faith, the impact of modernity with its
ambivalent status afforded to the prophet and institution of
prophethood shook many Muslim scholars. Through analysis of these
modern debates on prophethood in Islam, this book situates Muhammad
Iqbal’s (1877–1938) and Said Nursi’s (1877–1960) discourses
within it and assesses their implications on the modern period.
This book introduces the "what, who and how" of the prophets in the
Islamic tradition. It unveils the rich Islamic literature of both
the classical and modern periods and analyses the construction of
their philosophies and theologies. Concise in both historical and
textual analyses, this book makes an important contribution to our
understanding of contemporary debates on prophecy and prophethood
in Islam and will be of great interest to postgraduate students and
researchers of Islam, religious studies, medieval studies and
contemporary studies of Islam and religion.
Serving as a gateway to Chinese thought, this Encyclopedia introduces the significant historical periods of Chinese philosophy ancient and modern and offers insight into the ideas of important thinkers and elementary concepts in philosophical discourse as well as addressing the major conundrums found within various Chinese disciplines. All the major schools of thought are covered and their proponents, followers and critics discussed. There are also essays on the relation of philosophy to other aspects of culture such as history and literature. The Encyclopedia provides a penetrating look into the thought of China and the Chinese, making it a useful resource for both those already acquainted with Chinese philosophy and those seeking to learn.
The work explores the historical and intellectual context of Tsongkhapa's philosophy and addresses the critical issues related to questions of development and originality in Tsongkhapa's thought. It also deals extensively with one of Tsongkhapa's primary concerns, namely his attempts to demonstrate that the Middle Way philosophy's deconstructive analysis does not negate the reality of the everyday world. The study's central focus, however, is the question of the existence and the nature of self. This is explored both in terms of Tsongkhapa's deconstruction of the self and his reconstruction of person. Finally, the work explores the concept of reality that emerges in Tsongkhapa's philosophy, and deals with his understanding of the relationship between critical reasoning, no-self, and religious experience.

This is Volume VIII of sixteen in a collection on Buddhism.
Originally published in 1923, this volume looks at cosmology. All
forms of Buddhism, however divergent, claim to have but three
objects of worship: the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha.. The
first is the founder of the faith, the second the teaching which he
gave, and the third the order which he founded. Regarding each of
the Ratnas or jewels, as they are called, an enormous amount of
speculation has grown up, with many different opinions concerning
the proper method of interpretation.

Islamic philosophy has often been treated as being largely of historical interest, belonging to the history of ideas rather than to philosophical study. This volume successfully overturns that view. Emphasising the living nature and rich diversity of the subject, it examines the main thinkers and schools of thought, discusses the key concepts of Islamic philosophy and covers a vast geographical area. This indispensable reference tool includes a comprehensive bibliography and an extensive index.

This book is an analysis of the philosophical chapters of the
Tattvarthadhigama (TA), a foundational text for the Jaina tradition
and the first text that presented the Jaina worldview in a clear
and systematic way. The book also includes the first English
translation of its oldest commentary, the Tattvarthadhigamabhasya
(TABh). Focusing on the philosophical sections of the TA and TABh,
which deviate from the traditional views and introduce several new
concepts for the Jaina tradition, the analysis suggests that the TA
and the TABh were written by different authors, and that both texts
contain several historical layers. The texts reflect aspects of the
concurrent intellectual movements, and the textual analysis
includes comparisons with the views of other schools, such as the
Nyaya and Vaisesika traditions, and offers an in-depth analysis of
the philosophical content of these works. The appendix contains an
English translation from the original Sanskrit text of the TA and
provides the first English translation of the commentary on these
passages from the TABh. Situating the text in the wider history of
Indian philosophy, the book offers a better understanding of the
role of the Jainas in the history of Indian thought. It will be of
interest to those studying Indian philosophy, Indian thought and
Asian Religions.
