Beskrivelse af The Soul Of The Far East
""The Soul of the Far East"" is a book written by Percival Lowell, an American businessman, author, and astronomer who spent a significant amount of time in East Asia during the late 19th century. The book is a collection of essays that explore the culture, philosophy, and spirituality of East Asia, with a particular focus on China and Japan. Lowell's observations and insights are based on his personal experiences and extensive research, and he covers topics such as Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, and Shintoism. He also discusses the differences between Eastern and Western thought, and the challenges of understanding and appreciating Eastern culture from a Western perspective. Overall, ""The Soul of the Far East"" is a fascinating exploration of the rich and complex spiritual traditions of East Asia, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in cross-cultural understanding and dialogue.Notwithstanding the fact that Cathay was the happy possessor of gunpowder, movable type, and the compass before such things were dreamt of in Europe, she owed them to no knowledge of physics, chemistry, or mechanics. It was as arts, not as sciences, they were invented. And it speaks volumes for her civilization that she burnt her powder for fireworks, not for firearms.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
