Distilled from the teachings of more than one hundred sages in three continents, this material stresses the experimental rather than the theoretical - and it is that characteristic of Sufi study which provides its impact and vitality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe emphasis of \u003cem\u003eThinkers of the East\u003c\/em\u003e contrasts sharply with the Western concept of the East as a place of theory without practice, or thought without action. The book's author, Idries Shah, says 'Without direct experience of such teaching, or at least a direct recording of it, I cannot see how Eastern thought can ever be understood'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Idries Shah\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1784790605\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784790608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Isf Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.49d","brand":"Idries Shah","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983089139967,"sku":"9781784790608","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8eda5e78-bf7a-486b-a92d-e32a27122ead.jpg?v=1683264611","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thinkers-of-the-east-idries-shah-9781784790608","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
