…were ever meant to do so. Or that philosophy is random speculations. You are missing the concept of "plausibility" as opposed to truth, which would help you navigate these topics. I can suggest the book Perennial Philosophy by Huxley to start getting a cursory understanding of what we are talking about here, which ultimately boils down to the inability of language to capture transcendental experiences which every society,…
…just wish Hindus actually followed what it said... That being said my additions to the mix are: Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse Dhammapada Tipitaka (http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/index.html) Perennial Philosophy by Aldous Huxley Discipline and Punish by Michel Foucault Philosophy in the Flesh by George Lakoff
…Many people over millennia have learned that if we make the effort - noone else can do it - there are definite rewards. One place to get an overview of this history (Western perspective) is in Huxley's 'Perennial Philosophy'.
…Daniel J. Boorstin These books make you look at society in a much more critical manner. The first two are difficult reads, but none the less good and referenced quite a bit in the humanities. The Perennial Philosophy - Aldous Huxley Huxley ties up all the different religious views quite nicely into a core set which is common to all of them. I'd advise reading Huxley and God before reading this though.
Take a look at the Perennial Philosophy by Aldous Huxley - pulls together a lot of these historical thoughts but focuses on people/texts that haven't become so popular they've lost meaning or been misappropriated.
…Giglamesh, Hercules, Samson, Thor, Osiris, Buddha, etc. When Stan Lee was told that the plot of one of his books was weak, he said he ripped it off from the best classic he could find. I like the book "Perennial Philosophy" by Aldous Huxley who finds a common "spiritual technology" used by religionists of all creeds. That is, prayer, meditation, good works and other kinds of "yoga" done by the individual as well as…
……压根就没打算要这么做。或者说哲学纯属胡乱推测。你忽略了“合理性”（plausibility）与“真理”的区别，这个概念能帮你理清这些话题。我建议读读赫胥黎的《长青哲学》（Perennial Philosophy），先对我们在这里讨论的东西有个粗浅的了解，这归根结底在于语言无法捕捉超验体验，而每个社会……

……我只希望印度教徒真能照着它说的去做……话虽如此，我再补充几本：赫尔曼·黑塞的《悉达多》 《法句经》 《三藏》（http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/index.html） 奥尔德斯·赫胥黎的《长青哲学》 米歇尔·福柯的《规训与惩罚》 乔治·莱考夫的《肉身哲学》

……数千年来，很多人都领悟到：只要我们付出努力——没人能替你做——就必定会有收获。想全面了解这段历史（西方视角）的一个好去处就是赫胥黎的《长青哲学》。

……丹尼尔·J·布尔斯廷。这些书会让你以更批判的视角来看待社会。前两本读起来很晦涩，但依然很优秀，在人文领域被频繁引用。奥尔德斯·赫胥黎的《长青哲学》——赫胥黎把所有不同的宗教观点梳理得非常好，提炼出了它们共有的一套核心理念。不过我建议在读这本之前先读读《赫胥黎论上帝》。

去看看奥尔德斯·赫胥黎的《长青哲学》吧——它把许多这类的历史思想汇整在一起，但重点放在那些尚未变得过于大众化而失去原意或被曲解的人物/文本上。

……吉尔伽美什、赫拉克勒斯、参孙、索尔、奥西里斯、佛陀等等。当有人说斯坦·李某本书的情节太弱时，他说他就是从能找到的最好的经典里抄来的。我很喜欢奥尔德斯·赫胥黎的书《长青哲学》，他发现了所有教派的宗教信徒通用的一种“精神技术”。也就是祈祷、冥想、行善，以及个人所做的其他各种“瑜伽”，还有……
