"In Meditations of Global First Philosophy, Ashok K. Gangadean builds on decades of research on the emergence of global reason to trace the roots of logos in different cultural milieux. Gangadean crosses into the uncharted frontier of global consciousness, global wisdom, and global first philosophy to illustrate that there is a primal force - a global logos - that is the generative source of our diverse worldviews, cultures, religions, philosophies, perspectives, and disciplinary orientations."--BOOK JACKET.
