Julian Baggini.
How the World Thinks: a global history of philosophy.
Granta. 2018
In How the World Thinks, Julian Baggini sets out to expand
our Western-centric understanding of philosophical thought,
exploring the philosophies of Japan, India, China and the Muslim world,
as well as the lesser-known oral traditions of Africa and Australia’s first peoples.
Offering deep insights into how different regions operate,
and their commonalities as well as their differences,
Baggini shows that gaining greater knowledge of how others think is the
first step to a better understanding of ourselves.
