The Soul of the Far East
About this book
A philosophical examination of East Asian culture and thought, particularly Japanese, in which Percival Lowell contrasts Eastern and Western conceptions of individuality and the self. Suitable for readers interested in comparative philosophy, cultural studies, and nineteenth-century Western interpretations of the Far East.
Percival Lowell
Percival Lowell was an American businessman, author, mathematician, and astronomer who fueled speculation that there were canals on Mars, and furthered theories of a ninth planet within the Solar System. He founded the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, and formed the beginning of the effort that led to the discovery of Pluto 14 years after his death.
