" World Philosophy" Parts 1 and 2 (12 Cassettes and 2 Guidebooks) (The Great Courses)

This course is an introduction to the philosophies of other cultures. Using Western philosophy as a touchstone for comparison, it investigates the spectacular range of values and beliefs held by non-Western cultures. You survey major belief systems from around the globe from the Vedic texts of India to the oral traditions of the Yoruba of West Africa to the major religions of the East. You explore the thought of such key philosophers as the Buddha and Confucius, examining how their ideas have spread throughout the non-Western world and how the belief systems they engendered have grown and changed throughout time. Throughout, you examine each philosophy within its own context and compare each unique system.Higgins, Kathleen Marie is the author of '" World Philosophy" Parts 1 and 2 (12 Cassettes and 2 Guidebooks) (The Great Courses)' with ISBN 9781565851245 and ISBN 1565851242.
