Reviews for Key Concepts in Eastern Philosophy

"""The discussions of Islamic philosophy are some of the best parts of the book, and the author demonstrates a keen understanding of the works of ibn Rushd, ibn Sina, alGhazzali, and al-Suhrawardi. References to Islamic concepts make clear connections to Greek philosophical sources-a helpful touchstone for those grounded in the Western tradition."" -Dan Wolne, ""University of Hawai'i Press ""Kupperman's book is an excellent exploration of the distinct philosophical investigations of the Asian traditions ... This is a useful and valuable portrait of Eastern philosophy, ... [this work] belongs in every academic library."" -APA Newsletter on Teaching Psychology, Spring 2001 ""This book is a classic of its kind and Leaman is to be congratulated for completing such a successful project that can only enhance philosophic scholarship generally and broaden the horizons of Western philosophers...."" -""Philosophy in Review ""Leaman is successful in hisfocus on Eastern philosophy; for academic and larger public libraries."" -Naomi E. Hafter, ""Library Journal"
