	Eastern world - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the Cold War, the term "Eastern world" was sometimes used as an extension of Eastern bloc, connoting the Soviet Union, China and their communist allies, while the term "Western world" often connoted the United States and its NATO allies such as the United Kingdom and France.
		Eastern philosophy, art, literature, and other traditions, are often found throughout the region in places of high importance, such as popular culture, architecture and traditional literature.
		The spread of Buddhism is partly responsible for this.

		Eastern philosophies have not been as concerned by questions relating to the nature of a single God as the universe's sole creator and ruler.
		Eastern philosophic traditions generally tend to be less concerned with the existence or non-existence of gods.
		Eastern philosophies, on the other hand, typically hold that people are an intrinsic and inseparable part of the universe, and that attempts to discuss the universe from an objective viewpoint as though the individual speaking was something separate and detached from the whole are inherently absurd.

		I hope that the simplicity of this schema does not mislead: it is not intended to suggest "essentialist" or reductionistic accounts of diverse cultures and traditions, simplistic notions of commonalities which overlook definitive differences, etc. Rather to the contrary.

		I begin the course by developing a framework, based in a cultural materialist approach to religion, which suggests broad differences between "religion" in hunting/gathering, horticultural, and agricultural societies.
