First published in 1952, The Eastern Philosophers provides a
straightforward account of the life and work of the great thinkers
of the East and attempts to show, in terms intelligible to the
ordinary reader, with what remarkable insistence the greatest of
these thinkers dwell upon common themes. It discusses themes like
Babylonia and Israel; Zoroaster; Hinduism; the Buddha and Buddhism;
the Hindu systems; the Chinese Sages and Mohammed and Islam. The
book raises three fundamental questions -what are the basic
differences between Eastern and Western thought? What does the
Western World owe it to the thought of the East and vice versa? In
the third place, to what extent is a rapprochement possible between
the two worlds of thought? This book is an essential read for
students of Philosophy in general and Eastern Philosophy in
particular.
