ABSTRACT
All that we think and all the ways in which we think have their origins in Asia. It is therefore of interest to know what, and how, Asia currently thinks.1 For those of us who have no wish to lose sight of the course of history my opening statement amply justifies such curiosity. If besides one considers that our contacts of all natures with the occupants of the eastern regions of our globe multiply daily and become more fruitful, and that both our primary and secondary material and political interests are and will become increasingly more involved in such questions, one cannot but fully acknowledge, not only the interest, but also the direct, practical usefulness of gaining the greatest possible insight into the moral and intellectual conscience of those peoples we needs must make our associates.
