First published in 1990, East of Existentialism was written to
explore new perspectives on eternal questions such as 'Who am I?',
'Why am I here?', and 'Where am I going?'. The book brings together
insights from existentialism in the West and Hinduism, Buddhism,
and Taoism in the East, and presents practical case studies
throughout to show the student how apparently abstruse themes
relate to real-life situations. Divided into three parts, the first
considers major Western contributions to the themes of human nature
and destiny. The central section examines the connection between
existentialism in the West and dominant philosophical schools in
India and China. The last three chapters explore the relevance of
Eastern ideas to Western thought, not only to provide philosophical
theory but also to offer a greater understanding of moral and
social dilemmas and of practical living. A full glossary explains
the technical terms used in the book. East of Existentialism will
appeal to those with an interest in philosophy and religious
studies.
