DESCRIPTION
The theme that this book discusses is highly relevant in today's society which has been witnessing rapid changes in its value systems. Values as guiding principles for the attainment of the ultimate value contribute significantly to the development of human society. The mission of philosophy today is to reinterpret and re-valuate human thinking and living patterns so as to offer the global society definite value orientations. Philosophy has to evolve a programme for value education that can maximize global welfare and minimize global problems. Philosophy of Values East and West represents a modest attempt at evolving unbiased thinking oriented to a value-based life and the formation of a society more humane and worth living in.
