About This Book

What is the place of Eastern thought - Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Confucianism - in the Western intellectual tradition? <i>Oriental Enlightenment</i> 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.

<i>Oriental Enlightenment</i> provides a lucid introduction to the fascination Eastern thought has exerted on Western minds since the Renaissance.
