Awakening: An Introduction to the History of Eastern Thought - Tapa blanda

Críticas

"Awakening is a work of great merit. The author is to be complimented for his lucid and engaging style, as also for the many anecdotes, analogies, and excerpts from original sources, all of which have made complex thoughts easy to understand. Serious readers will find enough to ponder that the twins of East and West don't only meet, but act and five together." - Hari N. Verna, India Post "Awakening is just what an introductory text in Asian philosophy needs to be: concise yet thorough, factual yet inspirational, clear yet profound. Bresnan's prose draws readers into a process that artfully combines two seemingly disparate aims: a comprehensive understanding of the historical development of Asian philosophy and the here and now nature of its deeply personal relevance." - Peter Bolland, Southwestern College "Overall, a first-rate text, perfectly targeted to college students." - Maxine Freed, Monterey Peninsula College

Reseña del editor

Awakening: An Introduction to the History of Eastern Thought engages students with anecdotes, primary and secondary sources, an accessible writing style, and a clear historical approach.

The text focuses on India, China, and Japan, while showing the relationships that exist between Eastern and Western traditions. Patrick Bresnan consistently links the past to the present, so students may see that Eastern traditions, however ancient their origins, are living traditions and relevant to modern times.
