In "A Comparative History of Ideas", the distinguished Japanese academic Hajime Nakamura presents a global history of ideas - specifically, a comparative history of ideas covering various traditions in global scope. Key problems common to the history of ideas, both East and West, are described and assessed. Professor Nakamura argues that particular intellectual and social developments can be traced in all great cultures, and that each culture deals with its problems in about the same order. Discussing, in their similarities and their subtle differences, ideas from India, China, Japan and Europe, Professor Nakamura considers such key philosophical problems as the concept of God, the controversy over universals and the nature of orthodoxy and heterodoxy. This book aims to set a new standard for dealing with the history of thought across many cultures.
