Oriental Enlightenment
The Encounter Between Asian and Western Thought
What is the place of Eastern thought - Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Confucianism - in the Western intellectual tradition? Oriental Enlightenment shows how, despite current talk of ''globalization'', there is still a reluctance to accept that the West could have borrowed anything of significance from the East, and explores a critique of the ''orientalist'' view that we must regard any study of the East through the lens of Western colonialism and domination.
Oriental Enlightenment provides a lucid introduction to the fascination Eastern thought has exerted on Western minds since the Renaissance.
