"The Shape of ancient thought : comparative studies in Greek and Indian philosophies" . "ʺThis is a wonderful book. The author has assembled material from the ancient Greek world and the world of ancient India and systematically demonstrated the interchange of ideas and mutual influence. McEvilleyʼs book should be read by all scholars of early Greek philosophy, Hindu thought, and Buddhism. McEvilley demonstrates that any serious study of ancient philosophy by necessity must include cross-cultural fluency and analysis.ʺ Christopher Chapple." . . . . "The Shape of Ancient Thought Comparative Studies in Greek and Indian Philosophies"@en . . "The shape of ancient thought" . "The shape of ancient thought"@en . . . . "This unparalleled comparative study of early Eastern and Western philosophy challenges every existing belief about the philosophical foundations of Western civilization. Spanning thirty years of intense intellectual inquiry and research, the author proves what many scholars before him have sensed but couldnʼt empirically explain: that the seemingly autonomous and separate metaphysical schemes of Greek and Indian cultures have mutually influenced each other over a long period of time, to the point that todayʼs Western world must -- be considered the product of both Eastern and Western thought. The authorʼs groundbreaking research systematically unveils striking similarities between the early metaphysical ideas central to Eastern and Western Philosophies. Thomas McEvilley explores the key philosophical paradigms of these cultures, such as Monism, the doctrine of reincarnation in India and Egypt, and early Pluralism in Greece and India, to show how trade, imperialism and migration currents have allowed these ideas to circulate and intermingle freely throughout India, Greece and the Near East. An intellectual achievement of unprecedented scope and depth, this study is based on early historical, philosophical, spiritual, and Buddhist texts from 600 B.C. until the era of Aristotelian thought. This sweeping interdisciplinary study will captivate students and scholars of philosophy, cultural studies, and classics, who will find that their field has been put on an entirely new footing." . . . . "ʺThis book-an epic review of the cross-currents of ancient thought-is one of the great works of scholarship of our time. McEvilley has brought together complex and diverse data to weave a tightly organized, panoramic account. This is a much needed survey -- and one that is both timely and important. Acknowledgement of the critical influences of Indian thought on Greek philosophy (and vice versa) undoubtedly will incite controversy lasting for decades. Herein perhaps is the bookʼs greatest appeal, for a frank appraisal of these data, devoid of xenophobic proclivities, is long overdue. This work will be useful to people in many fields of study. I should think that it will become indispensable for any and all specialists on antiquity.ʺ Katherine Harper." . . . .
