The Problematic of the Self, East and West

Born in the human environment of the Greek city-state, with an appeal to that part in man thanks to which he can be a creator ... governed by man-made law and human reason, Western civilization has achieved a fair amount of philosophic self-consciousness; while Indian philosophy, although by no means less important in the molding of the corresponding civilization, has remained comparatively more implicit in the religious, social, and political traditions (dharma in its multifarious senses) it had to integrate. Its aim has not been so much to make Indian civilization conscious of itself as intentional of itself
