From the sixth century BCE onwards there occurred a revolution in
thought, with novel ideas such as such as that understanding the
inner self is both vital for human well-being and central to
understanding the universe. This intellectual transformation is
sometimes called the beginning of philosophy. And it occurred -
independently it seems - in both India and Greece, but not in the
vast Persian Empire that divided them. How was this possible? This
is a puzzle that has never been solved. This volume brings together
Hellenists and Indologists representing a variety of perspectives
on the similarities and differences between the two cultures, and
on how to explain them. It offers a collaborative contribution to
the burgeoning interest in the Axial Age and will be of interest to
anyone intrigued by the big questions inspired by the ancient
world.
