Eastern Philosophy: Key Readings

Through key readings from primary and secondary sources this book communicates at first hand the principal features of the remarkable range of Eastern thought - including Buddhist, Confucian, Hindu, Islamic, Shinto and Zoroastrian.

Passages from key texts guide the reader through over 90 major terms, from abhidharma to Zen.

Material is drawn not only from such cornerstone texts as the Bhagavad-gita and the Lao-tzu, but also from modern writings on Eastern philosophy and religion.

Extracts are prefaced by Oliver Leaman's succinct introductions, and supplemented by a glossary of terms.
