| 520 | 8 | |a From the sixth century BCE onwards there occurred a revolution in thought, with novel ideas such as - all that exists is a single abstract thing, or that the most important thing about each of us is an eternal, unitary inner self.

And it occurred - independently it seems - in both India and Greece, but not in the vast Persian Empire that divided them. How was this possible? This is a puzzle that has never been solved. This volume brings together a variety of perspectives to outline the similarities and differences between the two cultures, and to attempt to explain them. | |
