range of valuable features: - brief biographies of main thinkers
such as Confucius and Zhuangzi - primary source material and
translations- maps and timelines- comprehensive lists of

the West, presenting various comparative approaches. With its clear
focus on thinkers and texts, "Understanding Asian Philosophy" is an
ideal undergraduate introduction to Chinese, Indian, Buddhist and
Daoist thought.
