Reseña del editor

The authors elucidate the complex strands of Eastern thought from Confucius to Buddha, and Islam to Tao. They explain the emphasis on the "nature of being" and on ethical and communal principles. They illuminate the search for enlightenment and show how these ideas are set within a cosmic whole rather than a framework of practical, scientific and individual thought. Illustrations throughout.
