Carter puts forth the East, and specifically Japan, as a source of possible solutions to the world's social, economic, and environmental problems. Not only is the book a sustained scholarly analysis of both the religious and philosophical roots of Japan's distinctive ethical approach to life, but it also provides the Western reader with a context for understanding Eastern values-values that although familiar to the West tend to be deemphasized. Encounter with Enlightenment begins a horizontal fusion between East and West, and establishes a common ground for mutual understanding and for working toward an ethical approach that could resolve some of the earth's difficulties.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48677402771691,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":64.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780791450185-1.jpg?v=1785762083","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/zh\/products\/9780791450185","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
