Typology of Asian Societies

The book explores the classification of societies based on individual satisfaction across various life domains using factor analysis. It emphasizes an evidence-based, bottom-up approach, challenging traditional views from prominent theorists like Hegel, Marx, and Weber, who often impose top-down categorizations on Asian societies. By critiquing these established perspectives, the author seeks to provide a more nuanced understanding of societal structures and individual fulfillment in an Asian context.
