{"product_id":"9780313348945","title":"Science and Asian Spiritual Traditions (Greenwood Guides to Science and Religion Series)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis volume in the Greenwood Guides to Science and Religion series examines how Asian spiritual traditions -- primarily the religions of India and China - interacted and influenced the understanding of the natural world over the last two millennia. Unlike the religious and scientific traditions of the Christian West, which developed in tandem, or even the Islamic world, which helped the rise of Western science, the Asian religious traditions did not encounter Western science until relatively recently. This has led to a unique relationship between these two cultural phenomena. The volume will also address the impact of Western science had on these traditions, as well as the impact on western science of the recent study of Asian religions by New Age groups and philosophers.     \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eScience and Asian Spiritual Traditions\u003c\/i\u003e covers the entire history of the interaction between science and Asian religions:   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eThe Natural World in Chinese thought   \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedicine in China   \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEcology and the Environment   \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAstronomy and Astrology   \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTechnology   \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsia encounters Western Science   \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWestern Science encounters Asian Spiritual Traditions.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn addition, the volume includes primary source documents, a bibliography of resources for further study, a timeline, and a glossary.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ABC-CLIO, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120791175408,"sku":"9780313348945","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780313348945_p0.jpg?v=1763678342","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780313348945","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
