Orient and Occident: A Comparative Study

Language: English. About The Book: Orient and Occident: A Comparative Study explores the cultural, philosophical, and social differences between Eastern and Western civilizations. Manmath Chandra Mallik analyzes how distinct historical experiences shaped contrasting outlooks on religion, ethics, governance, and society. He highlights the East’s emphasis on spirituality, community, and moral tradition, while the West prioritizes rationality, individualism, and material progress.
