This new and expanded update of the popular Thirty-five Oriental Philosophers is an accessible introduction to the most prominent figures in Eastern thought, from earliest times to the present day. From traditional philosophers such as Confucius and Zoroaster, to modern thinkers such as Fung Youlan and the present Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso, the authors cover the development of each thinker’s philosophy and analyze his essential ideas.
