Koller's book was my first serious introduction to Asian philosophy, and I though I read this as a busy high school senior trying to juggle classes, college applications, and extra-curriculars, I did not begrudge the time spent on this book.Koller looks at the various Hindu, Buddhist, Chinese and Zen traditions, and gives serious outlines of their thought. What I found so entrancing was how he would select pieces of art which help exemplify the worldviews that he analyzes, whether it be a dancing Shiva or Chinese landscape, we see how philosophies can inform how a culture works, and it makes the book much more vivid and engaging. The ideas come alive.The Asian perspective is becoming more important for Americans to understand, and I commend this book as a valuable tool in appreciating the East.
