Any attempt to share wisdom he insists must derive from a context that is both interdisciplinary and intercultural. Ashley offers an ambitious analysis and synthesis of major historical contributions to the unification of knowledge including non-Western traditions. Beginning with the question 'Metaphysics: Nonsense or Wisdom?'
