Can Asians think?

Can Asians think? Are we at the end of the Western epoch? Is Western civilisation universal? Does the West promote human rights for altruistic reasons? Is Japan adrift? Why has Southeast Asia not become the Balkans of Asia? These are some of the questions Kishore Mahbubani has sought to answer in his personal ruminations over the years. This volume of essays and speeches brings together for the first time his thoughts on these and other subjects. Kishore Mahbubani was born and brought up in Singapore, was educated in English, studied Western philosophy in Singapore and Canada, and has served abroad with the Singapore Foreign Service. His exposure to so many different world views brings fresh perspectives to his debates. His views have earned him a reputation as one of Asia's distinctive voices-the Economist calls him an Asian Toynbee, preoccupied with the rise and fall of civilisations, while the Washington Post terms him the Max Weber of [the] new 'Confucian ethic™.
