Eastern Philosophy: The Basics is an essential introduction to
major Indian and Chinese philosophies, both past and present.
Exploring familiar metaphysical and ethical questions from the
perspectives offered by a range of eastern philosophies, including
Confucianism, Daoism, the main Buddhist and Hindu philosophical
schools, as well as Jainism, this book covers key figures, issues,
methods and concepts. Questions discussed include: What is the
'self'? Is human nature inherently good or bad? How is the mind
related to the world? How can you live an authentic life? What is
the fundamental nature of reality? With timelines highlighting key
figures and their contributions, a list of useful websites,
pronunciation guides and further reading suggestions, Eastern
Philosophy: The Basics provides an engaging overview of fundamental
ideas in eastern philosophy. The second edition has been thoroughly
revised and updated to take account of the most recent scholarship.
It includes study questions for each chapter, an updated
bibliography, a new section on the Yijing and expanded discussion
of Indian philosophies and their basis in experience. Eastern
Philosophy: The Basics is valuable reading for all students of
philosophy and religion, especially those seeking to understand
eastern thought.
