How the World Thinks - Julian Baggini
*SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER* 'There to fill the Sapiens-size hole in your life' ObserverIn this groundbreaking global overview of philosophy, Julian Baggini travels the world to provide a wide-ranging map of human thought.One of the great unexplained wonders of human history is that written philosophy flowered entirely separately in China, India and Ancient Greece at more or less the same time. What we call 'philosophy' in the West is not even half the story.Julian Baggini sets out to expand our horizons in How the World Thinks, exploring the philosophies of Japan, India, China and the Muslim world, as well as the lesser-known oral traditions of Africa and Australia's first peoples. These early philosophies have had a profound impact on the development of distinctive cultures in different parts of the world.
What makes secularism a less powerful force in the Islamic world than in Europe? Interviewing thinkers from around the globe, Baggini asks questions such as: why is the West is more individualistic than the East? And how has China resisted pressures for greater political freedom?Offering deep insights into how different regions operate, and paying as much attention to commonalities as to differences, Baggini shows that by gaining greater knowledge of how others think we take the first step to a greater understanding of ourselves.
