Rethinking the Assumptions of Refugee Policy
The values of individualism developed in the post-Enlightenment West are at the core of the contemporary refugee protection system. While enormously powerful, this tradition assigns priority to the individual as distinguished from the community. Based on patterns established in centuries of religious thought and practice as well as on the insights of key thinkers in the tradition of Western individualism, this paper argues that consideration of c…
Beyond Individualism
In many places around the world, relations between ethnic and religious groups that for long periods coexisted more or less amicably are now fraught with aggression and violence. This trend has profound international implications, threatening efforts to narrow the gap between rich and poor. Underscoring the need for sustained action, George Rupp urges the secular West to reckon with the continuing power of religious conviction and embrace the ful…

Buddhist-Christian Interaction
In his introductory remarks David Eckel writes that Christian encounter with Buddhism stands only to benefit from a deeper understanding of the historical sources of Buddhist (p. 2). I certainly agree with that judgment, and I want to express my appreciation for his careful historical delineation of Svatantrika views and his drawing of attention to certain general features in Madhyamika thought from this discussion of specific historical sources.…

Religious Pluralism in the Context of an Emerging World Culture
Two at least apparently contrary developments form the context within which a contemporary interpretation of the fact of religious pluralism proceeds. The first is the incipient world culture emerging under the impetus of those processes of modernization which arose initially in the West. And the second is the continuation and intensification of diversity within the various religious traditions. Few observers would deny the existence of either te…
The Relationship between Nirvana and Samsara
The “Idealism” of Jonathan Edwards
That Jonathan Edwards is an idealist is a commonly held view among historians of American philosophy. Not surprisingly, the early essays “Of Being,” “The Mind,” and the so-called “Notes on Natural Science” figure prominently in the substantiation of this judgment; for they offer not infrequent and at times unambiguous testimony to a tendency in Edwards' writings which seems to reduce all reality to the status of exclusively mental existence. Yet …
