Gulick, Sidney Lewis

"A compendium of forty-five years of study, thought, writings, and lectures to interpret the East and the West.... The first chapter provides the anthropological basis for the entire study.... [Then] they move on to the contrasts in Oriental and Occidental characteristics and cultures and explain why it is so difficult for the two to understand one another. [Finally], the abstract embodiment of the two cultures in their metaphysical and religious systems predominates."--jacket.
