Esoteric Meaning in Raphael's Paintings The Philosophy of Composition in the Disputa,the Sch... Book

A good introduction into comparative philosophy through looking at a very large topic on how man is perceived across different cultures, religions and philosophies - primarily four of them viz Greek, Jewish, Chinese and Indian.
The section on Jewish and Chinese are quite succinct and to the point trying to give a distilled overview over the topic. The Indian section is however poorly written with Raju unabashedly trying at various points to prove the superiority of the Indian view, or even assert himself in the discussion rather than stick to the subject matter. Which is why the Indian section has the combined length of the Jewish and Chinese section.
Good for those who are unacquainted with Man as subject of philosophical study or someone who wants an introduction to Jewish, Chinese or Indian thought. Otherwise an avoidable book from the perspective of scholarship.
A bit disappointing that this has Radhakrishnan's name associated with it - this work is so different from his other works such as Idealist View of Life or Upanishads etc
