Introducing: Eastern Philosophy by Richard Osborne & Borin Van Loon

Genre: Philosophy

About: This book focuses on India and China, the two oldest and most influential origins of Eastern thoughts. It brilliantly elucidates the complex schools of Hindu philosophy, the offshoots of Indian Buddhism, the traditions of Confucius and the Tao in China, & demonstrates their fundamental differences from Western notions of truth. It makes clear the Eastern view of ultimate reality, the emphasis on selfless ethics & the quest for Enlightenment, & shows how these ideas are set in a cosmic whole in contrast to the Western individual and scientific perspective.

My Review: As usual, I never get bored reading this book. The illustrations definitely makes the reading experience fun. Easy reading & informative.

My Rating: 4/5
