Atlas of Eastern Thought

To live in today's world with the tools of millennial wisdom.

The Greek birth of philosophy is inseparable from oriental thought. Only severe ideological distortion has prevented Eurocentric scholars from accepting our cultural roots far beyond classical Greece; Pythagoras traveled to the East, in Egypt he learned knowledge and wisdom that was thousands of years old, and concepts such as reincarnation and vegetarianism filtered from the East, along with other ideas that Platonic philosophy would later develop.

But the great Western philosophical concepts were already present in the East many centuries earlier, just as Indian astronomers had demonstrated the heliocentric system and calculated the force of gravity centuries before Galileo and Newton. The numerals we use are not Arabic, but Indian; the Arabs brought zero and other digits to Europe, thus allowing decimal mathematics, the basis of modern science and technology.
