Europe, China, and India had distinct world views and inclinations. Europe excelled in science, China tended to art or aesthetics, and India's forte was religion or spirituality. Their mutual influence, which started in earnest in the 19th century, is shaping our planetary culture.
The book is well-organized and easy to understand. The author takes concepts that are quite difficult to understand but somehow manages to make them easily digestible for a wide audience. That's an immense talent!
This illuminating book shows that Western cultures are intertwined and entangled with Eastern ones and all the richer for it. It is a concise account of slices of cultural history that connects the Eastern past with modern Western movements in architecture and art, cybernetics and artificial intelligence, and spirituality. A mind-expanding trip across time and space!
