Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophical issues such as reality and appearance, God and world, self and not-self, rebirth and immortality, free will and determination, mysticism, etc., have been examined by eastern and western philosophers as far back as the sages of Upanishads (700 BCE) in the East, and Plato (400 BCE) in the West. However, there was no significant communication among the philosophers of the East and West perhaps until the eighteenth century. Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) was one of the first among the great western philosophers to recognize the value of Indian philosophies. Despite the lack of communication there are striking similarities of concepts and issues addressed by Indian and western philosophies. Also interesting is how similar are the mystical versions of different religions of the East and West. The author, Dr. Arun Chatterjee, has attempted to bring out the similarities and differences in various chapters of this book dealing with different topics. Among Indian philosophies the focus is on Vedanta philosophy and the views of Sri Aurobindo (1872-1950). The views of Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902) also are presented. Other Indian philosophies such as Sankhya and Buddhism are discussed briefly. Among western religions Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the modern world, provincialism in reflective thinking is dangerous, possibly tragic. If philosophy is to fulfill one of its main functions—that of guiding the leaders of mankind toward a better world—its perspective must become worldwide and comprehensive in fact as well as in theory. This, the motivating theme of the Second East-West Philosophers' Conference held at the University of Hawaii in the summer of 1949, is likewise the theme of this volume, the complete report of that Conference. The goal of the eminent philosophers participating was the discovery of avenues of progress toward a synthesis of Oriental and Occidental thought. They attempted to reach tentative conclusions in the fields of methodology, metaphysics, and ethical theory. Conference activities consisted of meetings, lectures, discussions, undergraduate courses, and graduate seminars. As far as possible, the proceedings were limited to the study of East-West philosophy; extensive attention was not given to the strictly religious aspects of any philosophical tradition. Participants in the Conference were convinced that philosophy is now entering upon a new stage of development which will be characterized by trans-cultural cooperation and world perspective. This development can be of tremendous significance in world thought and eventually in the lives and actions of the people of the world. Twenty-three of the formal papers presented at the Conference comprise the substance of this book; a significant proposal for synthesis is stated or implied in almost every one. A comprehensive introduction by the editor, a summary of the results and conclusions of the Conference seminars, a who's who of contributors, and an exhaustive index round out the volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a "state-of-the-art" assessment of comparative philosophy written by some of the leading practitioners of the field. While its primary focus is on gaining methodological clarity regarding the comparative enterprise of "interpreting across boundaries," the book also contains new substantive essays on Indian, Chinese, Japanese, and European thought. The contributors are Roger T. Ames, William Theodore de Bary, Wing-tsit Chan, A. S. Cua, Eliot Deutsch, Charles Hartshorne, Daya Krishna, Gerald James Larson, Sengaku Mayeda, Hajime Nakamura, Raimundo Panikkar, Karl H. Potter, Henry Rosemont, Jr., Ben-Ami Scharfstein, Ninian Smart, Fritz Staal, and Frederick J. Streng. Comparative or cross-cultural philosophy can be seen as a relative newcomer to the field of philosophy. It has its antecedents in the emergence of comparative studies in nineteenth-century European intellectual history, as well as in the sequence of East-West Philosophers' Conferences at the University of Hawaii, which began in 1939. This book will prove to be of great significance in helping to define a field that is only now becoming fully self-conscious, methodologically and substantively, about its role and function in the larger enterprises of philosophy and comparative studies. Originally published in 1988. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Book excerpt: Philosophy is the study of life, nature, soul, knowledge, reality and existence. The study has many branches namely Metaphysics, Ethics, Logic, Social Philosophy, Epistemology, Philosophy of Religion etc. which cover various aspirations of man's life. We find philosophy has been developing in both East and West from the ancient time. In the East the various schools of philosophy to wit Vedanta, Buddhism, Jainism, Nyaya, Vaisesikas, Sankhya, Yoga etc came into existence. They possessed their own traditions which are completely different from others. But their goal was the same to identify a man's own nature and to attain impunity of the soul. On the other hand, in the West we see a numerous philosophers preached their own course of philosophy to identify the ultimate reality of the universe. We may mention the name of Thales who supposed to be first Western Philosophers pointed out that waster is the ultimate reality of the universe and it is the primal cause from which the world begins. After him almost all Greek philosophers followed his tradition and tried to indentify an ultimate Reality. In medieval period though the philosophical system was changed, but the search of ultimate reality remained in the core of philosophy. But as the authority of Church appeared at that time and all philosopher at this time were Baptized, philosophy was mixed up with religion automatically. As a result thereof, complete spread of dogmatism was seen. Western philosophy got a newer turn by the hand of Descartes. He was a mathematician and a man of science. He introduced the concepts of Mathematics and science to philosophy as to establish a certain system of philosophy. Following him afterwards all philosophers done philosophical discussion in the light of science. Naturally the tradition was changed from that of in the medieval period. It is very hard to sum up all the traditions maintained by both Eastern and Western philosophy in a book. But it is possible to express some reflection of their philosophical understanding. To make inform the reader about the philosophical tradition and style of philosopher of both East and West, I prefer to choose some essays from the two traditions we mentioned above. I have written five essays three of them on Indian philosophy and remains are on Western philosophy.
