Companion Encyclopedia of Asian Philosophy

This is an astonishing scholarly achievement, a collection of some fifty essays on Asian philosophy - Persian, Indian, Buddhist, Chinese, Japanese and Islamic traditions. Each part contains an editorial introduction followed by an essay on origins. Then essays on leading individuals or schools of thought, followed by an analysis of logic and language, knowledge and reality, morals and society, and contemporary expressions of the tradition. There are ample notes and lists of further reading. An essential reference work for the serious student of Asian thought.
