pages: 33-43

Abstract

The quarterly journal, Cultures of the East (1984-92), was founded with the intention of presenting Near and Far East cultures to academics, as well as a wider audience, and illuminate some of its rich cultural heritage. The subtitle defined the journal as a “journal for Eastern philosophy, literature and art”. However it also contained other issues, such as religion. Some issues had a comparative approach, compiling studies (on philosophy, religion, etc.) of Eastern as well as Western origin on a given topic. Recently two digital internet presentations of the journal issues have been posted to the following site: http://yu-budizam.com/knjige/#kulture. In this text we will present relevant texts dedicated to philosophy and topics related to philosophy, like meditation, mysticism, ethics, or psychology. Keywords: Eastern philosophy, meditation, ethics, mysticism, psychology
