Eastern philosophy

Eastern Philosophy (RG Atento, 2015) Having been schooled in a kind of education that focuses on a thought process that is halfway across the globe, it is quite appealing to have discovered Eastern Philosophy as a grown man through a black book lying inside our office’s stock room in mid 1990s. That book proved to pivotal because it introduced to me the Teachings of Buddha, and then, the whole Eastern philosophy starting from Lao Tzu and Kung Fu Tze and Sun Tzu. Looking back at all these and

Maintenance - The Reconciliation of Western and Eastern Philosophy The differences in Western and Eastern philosophy are marked. Eastern thinking has slowly become “discovered” by the West; meanwhile, the development of Western thought and philosophy has come under close scrutiny by modern and postmodern philosophers and thinkers as being flawed at its core.

creators use of water, oceans, and voyage as metaphors to help define the processes of life and experiences of mental illness (Brooks, Murata & Tansey, 2008). As previously discussed in the introduction to Barker, about his passion for the Eastern philosophies, you begin to notice he is drawn particularly close to the chaos theory when he describes the human state as being of a more fluid nature form of experience, and that change is both unpredictable and endless.

Nature and Nurture in Crime and Punishment     In the news today there is an article about a high-school boy who brought guns to school and shot several students. The parents of the victims are suing various computer game companies saying that the violent games present shooting and killing people as pleasurable and fail to portray realistic consequences.

Unlike the ecclesiastical influences, seen in the west, Confucianism and Sikhi present thoughts about the individual and humankind’s

The Cold War wasn’t a physical war fought between two opposing sides. Instead it was the name given to the relationship between Eastern European countries and Western European countries along with the USA.
