by Cyril Philips
Professor of Oriental History in the University of London
2-The Heritage of India and China
What are the essential Characteristics of the civilisations of India and China? And what have they in common? In answering these questions Professor Philips takes some representative Characters from the early history of each country—the statesmen Kautiliya and Ashoka of Inda and Po Chii-i, Chinese mandarin and poet, and builds from their stories a picture of rhe past which challenges tlhe assumption that Asian societies can expect to find a similar solution for their problems.
