However, in examining the traditions, Professor Raju has been less occupied with separate doctrines and individual thinkers than with essential characteristics and general trends. He has analyzed and compared these features within the traditions and explored the parallels and divergencies among them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the general interested reader, the interchange among the philosophies will be especially valuable.
