With a focus on Asian traditions, this book examines varieties of
thought and self-transformative practice that do not fit neatly on
one side or another of the standard Western division between
philosophy and religion. It contains chapters by experts on
Buddhist, Confucian, Taoist, Hindu and Jain philosophies, as well
as ancient Greek philosophy and recent contemplative and spiritual
movements. The volume also problematizes the notion of a Western
philosophical canon distinguished by rationality in contrast to a
religious Eastern "other". These original essays creatively lay the
groundwork needed to rethink dominant historical and conceptual
categories from a wider perspective to arrive at a deeper, more
plural and global understanding of the diverse nature of both
philosophy and religion. The volume will be of keen interest to
scholars and students in the Philosophy of Religion, Asian and
Comparative Philosophy and Religious Studies.
