Abstract:
"The Companion Encyclopedia of Asian Philosophy is a unique one-volume reference work which makes richly varied philosophical, ethical and theological traditions accessible to a wide audience. Each of the six sections covers a specific tradition within Asian philosophy - Persian, Indian, Buddhist, Chinese, Japanese and Islamic." "The reader can compare and contrast thought systems and understand the ways in which the cultures discussed have shaped and been shaped by philosophy. It is possible, for example, to relate the ways in which Buddhist thought has developed in India, China, South-east Asia and Japan."--BOOK JACKET.
