Oriental Theories of Human Development is organized in two parts. Part I is intended to answer the question: What beliefs about human development are found in the literature and traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Shinto, and Islam? Part II, entitled «Segments of Theory in Popular Belief», contains the results of interviews with around 100 or more adherents of each of the five religions treated in Part I. The purpose of the interviews was to learn the extent to which followers of a religion subscribed to certain key concepts about development that were embedded in their own religious traditions. The Hindus were interviewed in India, Buddhists in Thailand, Confucianists in Taiwan, Shintoists in Japan, and Muslims in the Sudan.
