Crossing continents and running across centuries, Key Concepts in World Philosophies brings together the 45 core ideas associated with major Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Islamic, African, Ancient Greek, Indigenous and modern European philosophers.

The universal theme of self-cultivation and transformation connects each concept. Each one seeks to change our understanding the world or the life we are living. From Chinese xin and karma in Buddhist traditions to okwu in African philosophy, equity in Islamic thought and the good life in Aztec philosophy, an international team of philosophers cover a diverse set of ideas and theories originating from thinkers such as Confucius, Buddha, Dogen, Nezahualcoyotl, Nietzsche and Zhuangzi. Organised around the major themes of knowledge, metaphysics and aesthetics, each short chapter provides an introductory overview supported by a glossary.

This is a one-of-a-kind toolkit that allows you to read philosophical texts from all over the world and learn how their ideas can be applied to your own life.

Sarah Flavel is Reader in Asian and Comparative Philosophy at Bath Spa University, UK, and President of the Society for Asian and Comparative Philosophy. Chiara Robbiano is Associate Professor of Philosophy, Honours Director and Chair of the Diversity Committee at University College Utrecht, the Netherlands. She was also a Visiting Professor in the Graduate School of Arts and Letters Tohoku University, Japan.
