A brief overview of Indian, Chinese and Middle Eastern philosopher/theologians. (to include small sections on Korean and Japanese).

The book gave a overview of these men and how they contributed to the world of philosophy both locally and in a broader sense. I got a sense while reading that the author had his own views on some of these philosophies.
