East vs. West An approach to Eastern Philosophical Thought

Abstract

An approach to the ideas of eastern thought requires an analytical, dialectical and comparative effort that, not only implies a challenge to our mental structure, but becomes a field opened to endless possibilities where the different questions and methods to find the truth become as valid as those proposed by other cultures, such as the Greek Culture. Thus, the aim of this interpretative exercise is to propose new perspectives about the origins, either geographical or ideological, of eastern and western philosophical thought.
