Encyclopaedic Survey of Oriental Thought e-bog

Oriental thought is proverbially said to be different from Oxidental thought obviously due to their different postulates i.e., spiritualism and materialism respectively, which is manifested in the various philosophical perceptions like intuitive higher knowledge, terminal object of knowledge, concept of mind, ultimate aim of life, concept of infinite, determinism and so on. In these three volumes of Encyclopaedic Survey of Oriental Thought the learned author has not only analysed the various propositions of Oriental Thought but also, in many cases, compared the themes with Oxidental thinking at ethical level as the author believes in the moral approach to History. Various isms like Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, Zen- Buddhism, Taoism, Sintoism etc. have been dealt holistically without any bias or prejudice. The doctrine of universal immanence, which is supposed to be a kernel of Oriental thinking, is reflected throughout the work. It is really worth-reading not only for scholars but also for general readers, specially for those who want to be oriented in the Oriental Thought.
