Creativity in Song Daoxue 道學
This essay explores one hermeneutical method on the general features of the typology of Zhu Xi’s and Chen Chun’s axiological daoxue cosmology. While there are myriad ways to read Zhu’s daoxue , one fruitful approach is to analyze daoxue cosmology in terms of four domains or fields of focus, namely (1) patterns and coherent principles [form]; (2) dynamic functions and processes [dynamics]; (3) harmonizing cultural outcomes [unification]; and (4) a…

Confucian Views of Nature
The Religious Thought of Chu Hsi. Julia Ching
Confucian Piety and the Religious Dimension of Japanese Confucianism
The discussion of the religious dimension of the Japanese Confucian tradition is made complex by the interrelationship of the definitions of religion and Confucianism. Add to the stewing pot the intricacies of the study of the actual, diverse Confucian traditions of China, Korea, and Japan and we must ask ourselves: what do we mean by Confucianism as a cumulative tradition, or what is the religious dimension of Confucianism-and, more specifically…

Reflections on the Fourth Buddhist-Christian Conference

metaphysician's interest in the meaning of language is different from that of the etymologist. The etymology of a word, St. Thomas writes, differs from its meaning. For its etymology depends on what it is taken from for the purpose of signification, whereas its meaning depends on the thing to which it is applied for the purpose of signifying it. Now these differ sometimes: for lapis (a stone) takes its name from hurting the foot (laedere pedum), …
Transition to Neo-Confucianism
Response to Sulak Sivaraksa's Paper
to Buddhism is not connected with my first major issue regarding the strong dualism of religion and culture. If the domains of religion and are thought of as sharply distinct from each other-religion being morally much stronger than culture-then it would be very difficult to see how the problems of the secular world can be directly addressed religiously at all. Here H. R. Niebuhr's analysis of the Christ against culture tendency in Christianity i…
