Teach Yourself Eastern Philosophy examines the key ideas that developed within the ancient civilisations of India and China. It presents a range of philosophies that both inform discussion of personal, moral and social issues and address the fundamental questions about the nature of reality and the place and purpose of human life within it.

From the erotic images of Tantra to the simple precision of Zen, and from the social order in traditional Confucian teaching to the rich variety of Hindu ideas and lifestyles, this book provides a feast of ideas of universal relevance.

Dr Mel Thompson, the author, is a freelance writer and editor, specialising in Philosophy, Religion and Ethics. For further information about this book, or to contact the author with questions or comments, log on to www.mel-thompson.co.uk
