Summary "De wijzen van het Oosten" by Cornelis Hille Ris Lambers is a philosophical and religious treatise written in the early 20th century. This work delves into various Eastern belief systems, primarily exploring Brahmanism, Buddhism, Chinese philosophy, and Mazdaism. The book aims to present the unique characteristics and wisdom of these religions, arguing for their philosophical value and their interconnectedness rather than viewing them as opposing ideologies. At the start of the text, the author introduces two prevalent misconceptions regarding religion and philosophy: the separation of philosophy from religion and the superiority of Christianity over other belief systems. He challenges these notions by emphasizing that all religions, including Brahmanism and Buddhism, seek to answer fundamental questions about existence and morality. The beginning sets the stage for an exploration of how each Eastern wisdom tradition offers insights not only into the human experience but also into the nature of divinity and reality itself. Lambers hopes to encourage readers to appreciate the depth and beauty of these ancient philosophies and the wisdom they can offer to contemporary spiritual seekers.
