Eastern Philosophy represents one of the most ancient intellectual traditions of human culture, yet it is generally ignored by Western philosophers. Today more than ever, the need for understanding in a global community should be stressed as the scope, scale, and complexity of social changes increase.

This book is poorly laid out. The logic with which the author presents the philosophers theories is confusing, random, and incoherent at best. There is no index at the back of the book to quickly locate subject matter or philosophers. The professor that taught the Ethics class at Penn State said he has had similar complaints from previous classes and was probably not going to use the book again.
