Description

The rise of Asia in global affairs has forced western thinkers to rethink their assumptions, theories, and conclusions about the region. Eric Voegelin’s Asian Political Thought brings together a mixture of established and rising scholars from both Asia and the West to reflect upon the political philosopher’s thought about China, Japan, Korea, Central Asia, and India. From Voegelin’s writings, readers will not only understand how Voegelin’s approach can illuminate the fundamental principles and issues about Asia but also what are the challenges and possibilities that Asia offers in the twentieth-first century. For those who want to move past the superficial commentary and clichés about Asia, Eric Voegelin’s Asian Political Thought is the book for you.

Media Reviews

If we cannot rid ourselves of our cultural biases, how can we engage with another culture meaningfully and respectfully? Eric Voegelin’s Asian Political Thought is a welcome contribution to this perennial question. . . I find this book to be a fascinating and stimulating read and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in cross-cultural engagements. . . . I am left with a sense of spiritual optimism after reading Eric Voegelin’s Asian Political Thought. * VoegelinView *
Voegelin’s writings on Asia can be divided into three categories: “China,” “the Mongols,” and “elsewhere in Asia.” The ten chapters in this volume are divided into three parts accordingly. To address Voegelin’s vast comparative civilizational knowledge, the authors were selected from diverse disciplinary backgrounds. They are experts on China, India, Japan, Korea, and Central Asia. * Dao: A Journal of Comparative Philosophy *
