"Thirty-Five Oriental Philosophers" provides an introduction to the
philosophical traditions known as oriental. Despite the growing
interest in eastern thought in the West, this is the only volume to
provide a comprehensive overview of the entire spectrum of oriental
philosophy in an accessible format.
This major reference work provides a close analysis of the key
works of central figures in the traditions of Zoroastrianism,
Islam, India, Tibet, China, and Japan, ranging from earliest times
to the present day. The book is composed of essays on individual
philosophers which outline the central themes of their thought,
list their major works, and provide suggestions for further
reading.
Each major section is prefaced by a short sub-introduction which
places the philosopher into the appropriate tradition and indicates
how the various traditions have interacted over time. Areas which
have a high profile in the West, such as Islam and Zen, receive
extended treatment. Philosophical difficulties associated with each
position are discussed, and references to parallel ideas in the
Western philosophical tradition are indicated as they occur. A
glossary of key philosophical terms is also provided.

With well over a million copies sold, Sun Tzu's The Art of War is a
true masterpiece, a series of brilliant aphorisms that illuminate
the planning and conduct of war. Now this classic work is available
in an elegant illustrated edition, featuring seventy-five color and
black-and-white images. From perceptive descriptions of the nine
varieties of terrain, to advice on how to gage an enemy's
weaknesses and strengths, to suggestions on the employment of
secret agents, here is timeless advice on combat and military
strategy. Sun Tzu's writings are unsurpassed in depth of
understanding, shedding light not only on battlefield maneuvers,
but also on the relevant economic, political, and psychological
factors that can shape the outcome of warfare. Equally important,
the precepts outlined by Sun Tzu over two thousand years ago can be
applied with great success outside the theater of war. Indeed, it
is read avidly by corporate executives worldwide and has been
touted in the movie Wall Street and the television series The
Sopranos as the ultimate guide to strategy. Finally, this edition
offers the definitive translation of Sun Tzu's text, by former U.S.
Marine Brigadier General Samuel Griffith, who was also an authority
of Mao Tse-Tung. Remarkable for its clear organization, lucid
prose, and the acuity of its intellectual and moral insights, The
Art of War is the definitive study of combat. It is an essential
book for military history buffs, and an ideal gift for anyone who
is interested in tactics and strategy, whether on the battlefield
or in the boardroom.
This book examines Gandhi's idea of Swaraj as an alternative to the
modern concept of political authority. It also introduces the
readers with Gandhi's ideas of moral interconnectedness and
empathetic pluralism. It explores the Gandhian belief that
'nonviolence' as a moral and political concept is essentially the
empowerment of the Other through spiritual and political
realization of the self as a non-egocentric subject. Further, it
highlights Swaraj as an act of conscience and therefore a
transformative force, essential to the harmony between spirituality
and politics. The volume will be of great interest to scholars and
researchers of philosophy, politics and South Asian Studies.
1) This is a comprehensive book presenting the political thoughts

across UK and USA.

This book approaches the concept of tenko (political conversion) as
a response to the global crisis of interwar modernity, as opposed
to a distinctly Japanese experience in postwar debates. Tenko
connotes the expressions of ideological conversion performed by
members of the Japanese Communist Party, starting in 1933, whereby
they renounced Marxism and expressed support for Japan's imperial
expansion on the continent. Although tenko has a significant
presence in Japan's postwar intellectual and literary histories,
this contributed volume is one of the first in Englishm language
scholarship to approach the phenomenon. International perspectives
from both established and early career scholars show tenko as
inseparable from the global politics of empire, deeply marked by an
age of mechanical reproduction, mediatization and the manipulation
of language. Chapters draw on a wide range of interdisciplinary
methodologies, from political theory and intellectual history to
literary studies. In this way, tenko is explored through new
conceptual and analytical frameworks, including questions of gender
and the role of affect in politics, implications that render the
phenomenon distinctly relevant to the contemporary moment. Tenko:
Cultures of Political Conversion in Transwar Japan will prove a
valuable resource to students and scholars of Japanese and East
Asian history, literature and politics.
