The Origins of Philosophy in Ancient Greece and Ancient India

A Historical Comparison

Beschreibung

Locates the origins and early form of Indian and Greek philosophy, and the striking similarities between them, in their entire societal and religious context. The cities of Greece and northern India were distinctive by virtue of being pervasively monetised, which was a central factor in their metaphysical transformation.
