Understanding Eastern Philosophy provides an accessible critical
introduction to how some of the key philosophies of the East
compare with those in the West. Starting from a discussion of the
problems of distinguishing between religions and philosophies, Ray
Billington presents a clear picture of the key tenets behind
Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Jainism and Confucianism. Moving on to
compare the key themes of religious philosophy that cut across East
and West, such as a belief in God, the soul, moral decision-making,
nature and authority, Understanding Eastern Philosophy presents a
fascinating and controversial picture of the contribution theistic
religions have to make. With its belief in a personal God bestowing
a particular version of 'truth', Ray Billington concludes that the
universal mysticism characteristic of Eastern thought provides a
more realistic and rewarding path than is commonly supposed in the
West. Understanding Eastern Philosophy assumes no prior knowledge
of religion or philosophy.
