The text centres on the assumption that there are aspects of thinking common to all traditions. On the basis of this assumption, the author offers a comparative introduction to important East/West philosophical questions and positions, and explores 'philosophizing' as expressed in the presuppositions, knowledge techniques, and logic developed by specific Greco-European, Indian and Chinese philosophers in their efforts to understand the object world, human consciousness and their interconnections. The synthesis of philosophy as 'product' and philosophizing as 'process' provides the dimensions of what the author calls 'philosophical space'.
