Socrates And Early Buddhist Medical Ethics: Foundations Of Moral Reasoning In The Care Of Body And Mind, Chandima Gangodawila
Socrates And Early Buddhist Medical Ethics: Foundations Of Moral Reasoning In The Care Of Body And Mind, Chandima Gangodawila
Budhi: A Journal of Ideas and Culture
While Buddhist traditions articulate a parallel moral vision in the early discourses of the Pāli Canon, Western traditions usually locate the roots of ethical reasoning in Socratic inquiry. Especially in their approaches to bodily care, spiritual well - being, and moral responsibility, this article contends that both Socratic and Early Buddhist ideas converge on fundamental principles in medical ethics. Through a comparative textual and philosophical study, the paper examines how Socratic dialectics and the Buddha's diagnostic approach to dissatisfa ction/ suffering (dukkha) both produce frameworks for ethical healthcare anchored in the development of virtue, wisdom, and care for the integrity …

A Comparative Cultural Study Of The "Body" In Chinese And Western Scholarship, Wei Guo, Peina Zhuang
A Comparative Cultural Study Of The "Body" In Chinese And Western Scholarship, Wei Guo, Peina Zhuang
Kritika Kultura
The body has become a research hotspot, attracting the attention of scholars in the fields of anthropology, literature, philosophy, sociology, and aesthetics. During this process, traditional Chinese and Western views on the body changed in varying degrees, and new corporeal theories came to the forefront. This article, based on the analytical overview of the comparative cultural studies of the body in Chinese scholarship, points out that problems are still abound and there is much room left for body studies in the future, as testified by the deficiencies in the status quo, such as the repeated usage of keywords in research, …

The (Re-)Emergence Of State Racism On The Eve Of Regional Integration In Southeast Asia: A Survey Of Five Countries, Hansley A. Juliano, Enrico B. La VińA, Matthew David D. OrdońEz
Budhi: A Journal of Ideas and Culture
Up to the eve of the unveiling of ASEAN Regional Integration in 2015, cases of ethnic and racial discrimination have been reported within ASEAN member countries, with the persecution of the Rohingya of Myanmar being just one of many. This study is a preliminary look at how negative race and ethnic relations between ASEAN nationals have not abated, coloring their view of regional integration. It looks at how race relations between ASEAN member countries have developed alongside the creation of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) Blueprint in 2007 up to the present. Based on a review of the structure of …
An Inquiry Into The Historical Development Of Philosophy In Japan, Kelly Louise Rexzy P. Agra
An Inquiry Into The Historical Development Of Philosophy In Japan, Kelly Louise Rexzy P. Agra
Budhi: A Journal of Ideas and Culture
What is Japanese Philosophy? This paper will address this question, not by giving a survey of the works of Japanese philosophers or a definition of the subject matter of Japanese philosophy, but by attempting to present how it emerged as a distinct philosophical tradition—by sketching the controversies that gave rise to its formation; the social, intellectual, and historical factors that paved the way to its development; and the revolution of thought which finally gave it the title “Japanese philosophy.” I will argue that Japanese philosophy was born not because Japanese thinkers desperately wanted a philosophy that they could call their …
Understanding And Accessing North Korean Religion, Byun Jin Heung
Understanding And Accessing North Korean Religion, Byun Jin Heung
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
Questions about North Korean religion always come with a question mark, and the general level of understanding about North Korean society is very low. This stems from doubts about North Korean communism. However, North Korea is a human society in which people live. As the society of North Korea has changed, so has the religion of North Korea. North Korea, especially after the collapse of the Cold War between East and West, has sought to change to survive and has used religion to gain recognition and acceptance from the international community. Religion has always been a tool to be used. …

Ang Identidad Ng Relihiyon, Ang Relihiyon Ng Identidad: Isang Anekdotal Na Tala Bilang Manlalakbay Sa Timog-Silangang Asya, Axle Christien J. Tugano
Katipunan
Nilalayon ng artikulong ito na mailahad at maitampok ang ilang mga nakalap na impormasyon patungkol sa relihiyon dulot ng paglalakbay ng may-akda sa buong rehiyon ng Timog-Silangang Asya, na may selektibong pagsentro sa mga karanasang nakalap mula sa Thailand, Myanmar, at Indonesia. Sa kasaysayang Asyano mula noon hanggang ngayon, isa ang relihiyon sa patuloy na namumutawing isyu sa kani-kanilang lipunan, na humuhubog sa kani-kanilang identidad, kasaysayan, at kalinangang pantao. Higit pa rito, maaaring tanawin ang papel ng relihiyon sa pagsasama-sama o di kaya’y pagkakawatak-watak ng mga tao, at kung paano ito naging giya ng pagpapasya, tadhana, at suliranin sa bawat …
Buddhist Modernism In The Philippines: Emerging Localization Of Humanistic Buddhism, Aristotle C. Dy
Buddhist Modernism In The Philippines: Emerging Localization Of Humanistic Buddhism, Aristotle C. Dy
Chinese Studies Department Faculty Publications
Mahayana Buddhism is well known for being successfully implanted in various cultures. Chinese Buddhism, considered one of the three great religions of China along with Confucianism and Taoism, is a classic example. From China, Buddhism traveled further and, in the twentieth century, developed a particular way of engaging the world. Humanistic Buddhism, a particular form of engaged Buddhism that grew out of twentieth-century Chinese Buddhism, has been present in the Philippines since the 1990s and signaled a new phase in the growth of Buddhism in the country. In particular, the Philippine initiators of Foguangshan and Ciji did not limit themselves …
Vatican Ii: A “Crisigenic” Council With An Unwritten Agenda, Aloysius Pieris Sj
Vatican Ii: A “Crisigenic” Council With An Unwritten Agenda, Aloysius Pieris Sj
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
The Second Vatican Council was like a new Pentecost which John XXIII invoked upon the Church. The Council emphasized a pastoral renewal that required attitudinal as well as structural change. Pieris offers the “Council” of Jerusalem as a precedent: it also dealt with a crisis that called for a conciliar decision. Since then, Vatican II is the first council to make crisigenic decisions which triggered both a caesura from the euro-ecclesial domination and a renewal in theology, spirituality, and sacramental life. Reform is from the center, renewal from the periphery. Fidelity to the Council demands maintaining the momentum of renewal …
Aloysius Pieris’S Asian Liberation Theology And Its Challenges To The Church’S Mission In Asia, Norlan H. Julia
Aloysius Pieris’S Asian Liberation Theology And Its Challenges To The Church’S Mission In Asia, Norlan H. Julia
Landas
This article examines the theological contributions of Sri Lankan Jesuit Aloysius Pieris and their profound implications for the Church's identity and mission in Asia. Julia highlights how Pieris critiques deep-seated dualisms within traditional Christian practice—such as the dichotomies between liturgy, spirituality, and secular action. By advocating for a synthesis centered on the "liturgy of life" and an Asian Christology, Pieris challenges local churches to undergo a "double baptism" in the Jordan of Asian religiosity and the Calvary of systemic poverty. Ultimately, the paper calls for a transformative pastoral shift toward authentic dialogue and total solidarity with the marginalized.
