This collection arises from the First Conference of the recently formed European Society for Asian Philosophy. It explores issues in Indian, Chinese, Japanese and Islamic philosophical traditions, both ancient and modern.
Across all philosophical traditions, Western or Asian, a central preoccupation has always been with the fundamental questions of moral and social philosophy, questions which link abstract philosophical enquiry with practical issues of how we should conduct ourselves in our personal and social life and how we can best organize our political institutions.
