A Sourcebook in Global Philosophy, Gebunden

Klappentext

This first-of-its-kind sourcebook brings together over fifty leading contemporary philosophers and translators in order to highlight the depth, diversity, and creativity of non-Western philosophical traditions.

It does so by featuring the major ideas, themes, and arguments of Africana, Buddhist, Confucian, Hindu, Islamic, Jain, Jewish, Latin American, Mesoamerican, Native American, and Taoist philosophy through translations of nearly one hundred philosophical texts from sixteen different languages (namely, Arabic, Aramaic, Chinese, French, Hebrew, Japanese, Judeo-Arabic, Korean, Maasai, Mayan, Persian, Sanskrit, Spanish, Tibetan, Turkish, and Urdu).

The volume also contains several key works of global philosophy originally written in English.

Topics covered include metaphysics, cosmology, epistemology, philosophy of language, logic, ethics, storytelling, philosophy of religion, selfhood, death, and freedom.

A Sourcebook in Global Philosophy will prove to be indispensable to all students and teachers of philosophy, religion, and comparative literature.
