Reseña del editor:
Spanning thirty years of intensive research, this book proves what many scholars could not explain: that today’s Western world must be considered the product of both Greek and Indian thought Western and Eastern philosophies.
Thomas McEvilley explores how trade, imperialism, and migration currents allowed cultural philosophies to intermingle freely throughout India, Egypt, Greece, and the ancient Near East. This groundbreaking reference will stir relentless debate among philosophers, art historians, and students.

Descripción Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. This comparative study of early Eastern and Western philosophy challenges every existing belief about the philosophical foundations of Western art and civilization. Spanning 30 years of intellectual inquiry and research, the author seeks to prove what many scholars have felt, but couldn't explain: that the seemingly autonomous and separate metaphysical schemes of Greek and Indian cultures have mutually influenced one another over a long period of time, to the point that today's Western world must be considered the product of not one, but of both Eastern and Western thought. This research unveils striking similarities between central early Eastern and Western metaphysical ideas and explains this phenomenon. The author explores the key philosophical paradigms of these cultures, such as Monism, the doctrine of reincarnation in India and Egypt and early Pluralism in Greece and India, to show how trade, imperialism and migration currents have allowed these ideas to circulate and intermingle freely throughout India, Greece and the Old Near East. The study is based on early historical, philosophical, spiritual and Buddhist texts from 600 BC until the era of Aristotelian thought. An unprecedented intellectual achievement, this ground-breaking reference spans 30 years of intense research to present new, thought-provoking arguments about Eastern and Western civilization that will stir relentless discussions among philosophers, art historians, and students.
