What is the place of Eastern thought - Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Confucianism - in the Western intellectual tradition?Oriental Enlightenmentshows 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 Enlightenmentprovides a lucid introduction to the fascination Eastern thought has exerted on Western minds since the Renaissance. | Oriental Enlightenment by J. j.
