Download or read book Oriental Philosophy written by Stuart Cornelius Hackett and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1979 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals neither with the historical and cultural setting of oriental viewpoints, nor even with the religious beliefs and ritual practices that characteristically provide a context for these viewpoints, but rather with a systematic and critical analysis of oriental perspectives as alternative philosophical positions. At the same time, Hackett provides a succinct historical framework, so that the student may place these systems in perspective.
