Oriental Enlightenment - The Encounter Between Asian and Western Thought (Paperback, New)

What is the place of the Eastern thought in the West?
Oriental Enlightenment shows how despite current talk of 'globalisation', there is still a reluctance to accept that the West could have borrowed anything of significance from the East and offers a critique of the 'orientalist' view that we must view any study of the east through the lens of western colonialism and domination.
Oriental Enlightenment provides a lucid and highly accessible introduction to the fascination Eastern thought has exerted on Western minds since the Renaissance. This panoramic new survey argues that any adequate history of Western thought must take into account how philosophical, religious and psychological ideas from India, China and Japan have been drawn into Western thought from the seventeenth century onwards. Tackling debates on orientalism, post colonialism and postmodernism. Oriental Enlightenment provides a new perspective on cross cultural exchanges between East and West.
