Philosophers,poets, mystics and artists have, at all times throughout history, communicated valuable insights into the nature of Nature.

Dr Klostermaier's work is a comprehensive study of the diverse dimensions of Nature that emerged in different cultures. It builds bridges between the natural sciences and the humanities, and stimulates reflection on issues considered important by many previous generations, and which ought to be thought through anew in our own times. 

This book opens windows into the understanding of Nature in non-western cultures that have long traditions exploring Nature independent of modern Western sciences.
