Close exposition and analysis of fifty major thinkers in eastern philosophy and religion form the core of this introduction to a fascinating area of study. The authors have drawn on the major eastern traditions, examining founder figures such as Zoroaster, Confucius and Muhammad, through to modern thinkers such as Mao Zedong, Nishitani and Gandhi. General introductions to the major traditions and a glossary of philosophical terms, as well as bibliographies and mended further reading for each thinker, make this a comprehensive and accessible work of reference. Diané Collinson is author of Fifty Major Philosophers and co-editor with Robert Wilkinson, of One Hundred Twentieth-Century Philosophers and A Biographical Dictionary of Twentieth-Century Philosophers. Kathryn Plant is Associate Lecturer in Philosophy at the Open University. Robert Wilkinson is Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the Open University. His latest book is Minds and Bodies (Open University Press, 1999). ROUTLEDGE KEY GUIDES
