Impressions of both cultures and their differences were deepened as he gained experience as a translator during the Paris Peace Conference which followed the conclusion of World War I. How delegations from the east viewed the postwar situation differently from their western counterparts fascinated the author, who realized that a cultural gulf lay between the leaderships.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNoting that the East has the potential for great power and influence in future by virtue of their populations and resources, Ribhany sets out a case for greater understanding between the existing Western powers and the nations of Asia. In doing so, he compares the religious holy texts and moral values of both regions, how business and mercantile culture is conducted, and overall attitudes to the progression of society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, Ribhany gives a historical overview of times when the West and East interacted. The invasions and wars of the distant past, plus the colonialism which defined Empires, and finally the role which Eastern powers assumed amid then-contemporary post-WW1 politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3925042\"\u003eAbraham Mitrie Rihbany\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pantianos Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1922\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.31d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789872644\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789872642\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POL\"\u003ePolitical Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POL010000\"\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Theory | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SOC\"\u003eSocial Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SOC008000\"\u003eEthnic Studies | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Pantianos Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44563190350061,"sku":"9781789872644","price":15.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_5f5df6ca-30bc-47da-9499-7e0a04b14218.jpg?v=1701841104","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/es\/products\/wise-men-from-the-east-and-from-the-west-the-religious-economic-and-social-traditions-of-eastern-and-western-cultures-9781789872644","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
