Eastern philosophy is a whole different kettle of fish to Western philosophy.

As you will see in this interactive guide, we have much to learn from the lessons over the millennia in Asia. I hope you enjoy these videos as much as I did!
To watch the videos, just click with your mouse on any of the photos to learn about a given philosopher or philosophy. If you want to learn about another, just click on the button on the right upper corner of the video. If you wish to see the video in full size, the full-screen button is located on the bottom right of the video player.
