A Comparative History of Ideas
Hajime Nakamura
A Comparative History of Ideas - 1st ed. - Delhi Motilal Banarsidass Publishers 1992 - 572
Hajime Nakamura argues with remarkable erudition that particular intellectual and social developments can be traced in all great cultures, that each culture deals with its problems in about the same order. Discussing, in their similarities and in their subtle differences, ideas from India, China, Japan and Europe, the author considers such inclusive notions as the concept of God, the controversy over universals and the nature of orthodoxy and heterodoxy. This is a lucid and rewarding book which sets a new standard for dealing with a history of thought across many cultures.
