The book is an introduction to oriental philosophy via individual consideration of the ideas of thirty-five major figures drawn from six traditions. Commentaries on each philosopher are accompanied by overviews of these traditions.
These are questions to which oriental thinkers have given a wide range of philosophical answers that are intellectually and imaginatively stimulating.
Thirty-Five Oriental Philosophers is a succinctly informative introduction to the thought of thirty-five important figures in the Chinese, Indian, Arab, Japanese and Tibetan philosophical traditions. Thinkers covered include founders such as Zoroaster, Confucius, Buddha and Muhammed, as well as influential modern figures such as Gandhi, Mao Tse-Tung, Suzuki and Nishida.
The book is divided into sections, in which an introduction to the tradition it covers precedes the essays on its individual philosophers. Notes, further reading lists, and cross-references provide the student with a clear route to further study. There is a glossary of key terms at the end of the book.
