About this document
Western vs Eastern Concepts of Self by John Lloyd Yoro is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document contrasts Western and Eastern concepts of self. The Western self is analytic, individualistic, and materialistic, viewing the self as distinct from others. By contrast, Eastern thoughts see the self as pluralistic. Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism share the goal of a perfect self, though their approaches differ. A key difference is that Western thought searches outside for truth through analysis, while Eastern thought searches inside through meditation and living rightly.
