Reading about Wisdom
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
What follows is derived mainly from the traditions of Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, Zen and Hinduism. Not every reader would wish me to concentrate on Eastern and for the most part ancient sources. Please note firstly however that contemporary translations and modern commentaries from the Western viewpoint are now relatively common. Secondly, I can write with more authority on the texts with which I am most familiar; and that, simply, is how things came about.
