These early philosophies have had a profound impact on the development of distinctive cultures in different parts of the world. What we call 'philosophy' in the West is not even half the story.\u003cbr\u003eJulian Baggini sets out to expand our horizons in How the World Thinks, exploring the philosophies of Japan, India, China and the Muslim world, as well as the lesser-known oral traditions of Africa and Australia's first peoples. Interviewing thinkers from around the globe, Baggini asks questions such as: why is the West is more individualistic than the East? What makes secularism a less powerful force in the Islamic world than in Europe? And how has China resisted pressures for greater political freedom?\u003cbr\u003eOffering deep insights into how different regions operate, and paying as much attention to commonalities as to differences, Baggini shows that by gaining greater knowledge of how others think we take the first step to a greater understanding of ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJulian Baggini\u003c\/b\u003e's books include \u003ci\u003eWelcome to Everytown: A Journey into the English Mind\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWhat's It All About?: Philosophy and the Meaning of Life\u003c\/i\u003e, the bestselling \u003ci\u003eThe Pig that Wants to be Eaten\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDo They Think You're Stupid?, The Ego Trick, The Virtues of the Table: How to Eat and Think\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eFreedom Regained\u003c\/i\u003e, all published by Granta Books.
