East Asian Philosophy of Religion
Abstrak
East Asian philosophy of religion differs from its Western analogue in not focusing on the Judeo‐Christian tradition and core topics that arise out of monotheism, such as the attributes of God and putative proofs of God's existence. It resembles Western philosophy of religion in engaging with such issues as the possibility of an afterlife, heaven and hell, the problem of evil, faith, free will, the status of gods and spirits, the existence of the supernatural, and whether there is a greater‐than‐human authority that humankind should obey or emulate. Like Western philosophy of religion, East Asian philosophy of religion critically assesses religious beliefs – it does not merely articulate them. Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism are the traditions of thought most widely embraced across a variety of East Asian countries. Philosophers interpret all three teachings in both secular and supernatural ways, both criticizing and supporting their evolving beliefs and practices.
