From East to West; Emerging Global Philosophies مقاله

خلاصه ماشینی:

Much like Derrida's critique of Western logocentrism, Bhaskar asserts that from Plato onwards, an ontological monovalence (including the absence of "objectivity," depth, and change) has created a philosophical problem that, from the perspective of a coherent critical realism, is absurd and nonsensical, yet has brought about far-reaching consequences in the process of structuring society. These experiences are as much inclusive of lived dispositions and institutions as they are inclusive of pre-established perceptions, theories, models, and paradigms existing regarding the meaning and nature of God. This is a call to a kind of radical religious pluralism, without undermining the standard foundation of most religions, namely faith in God. Similarly, Bhaskar, by reading supra-religious Eastern ideas such as reincarnation, karma ("the quantum natural law"), and moksha (liberation from karma), also from the perspective of dialectical critical realism, gives them a (to some extent) new meaning. However, this type of intercultural debate will also suggest that instead of relying on the reified and rigid categories of "East" and "West," we need new ways to position ourselves in the arena of global philosophical debates—debates such as ontological realism or the possibility of realizing judgmental rationalism; key thinkers and texts such as Dignaga (Dignand#228;ga) and Derrida; and accessible "traditions" such as Madhyamika Buddhism, structuralist semiotics, and the hermeneutics of suspension from Nietzsche to Heidegger, can act as relational identifiers.
