The book traces briefly the variety and evolution of the wisdom in each of these most populated and developing countries. Being familiar with the philosophic traditions of these people with whom people in the West have to deal for good or bad makes it easy to understand, accept, and appreciate their worth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is written as if meant to be an introductory text for a one-semester course to college undergraduates.
