| | Western world - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Western thought is often related to the cultural tradition that traces its origins to Greek thought and Christian religion. | | | Western society is claimed to follow an evolution that began in ancient Athens, continued through the Roman Empire and, with the coming of Christianity (which had its origins in the Middle East), spread throughout Europe. | | | As the eastern and western churches spread their influence, the line between "East" and "West" can be described as moving, but generally followed a cultural divide that was defined by the existence of the Byzantine empire and the fluctuating power and influence of the church in Rome. |

| | While western religions are centered on the belief in one God, many believers of eastern religions seek to find enlightenment by looking within themselves. | | | The faiths are often called western religions to distinguish them from the eastern religions practiced primarily in Asia. | | | Indigenous religions are practiced throughout the world, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. |

| | An essay on the WESTERN WORLD |
| | To the orthodox Puritan the world is a sterile desert, to the secular Puritan the world is a field of exploitation. | | | While Luther solves the relationship between the Divine and the world by the so called “teaching of the dual Kingdoms”, not the least by allowing Christian everyday and work-ethics, the “world” to the Calvinist is merely a state of total sinfulness – according to Calvinism there is no holiness in the world. | | | The concept of individuality is what relates the Greek civilisation to the Christian teaching of salvation and thus makes Christianity the dominant religion of the Western World. |

| | Hau de no sau nee Address to the Western World, Geneva, 1977 [1/3] |
| | The majority of the world finds its roots in the Natural World, and it is the Natural World, and the traditions of the Natural World, which must prevail if we are to develop truly free and egalitarian societies. | | | And we, the native peoples of the Western Hemisphere, are among the world's surviving proprietors of that kind of consciousness. | | | Many thousands of years ago, all the people of the world believed in the same Way of Life, that of harmony with the universe. |

| | INTR 532 Bibliographies: Western Theology |
| | Modern western theology, however, made an attempt to escape from this fundamental conflict with the biblical beliefs through abstracting out a certain meaning from the integral faith of the Bible. | | | Indeed, the secularization of the West is a minority situation among the cultures of the world. | | | It is at the point of this disbelief of modern scientific rationalism that modern western theology came in conflict with biblical faith. |

| | While the great and terrible armies of the world and the vast and mysterious powers of the universe gather for battle, the peoples of the Western Nations remain asleep and in ignorance of their soon to come deaths. | | | The Western people’s ‘everything’ is separate, nothing is ‘connected’ world view contributes to their beliefs that ‘their’ older peoples are disassociated with the other older peoples of the world, and therefore gives them no understanding that all of the earths older peoples are the same in thought and spirit about all things. | | | An independent American researcher, Ricardo L. Carezani, in his article titled, “SN 1987 A and the Neutrino” says it best in describing Western scientists’ penchant for making facts fit their absurd assertions; “Putting together all 7 facts, the *overwhelming* neutrino evidence is replaced by an overwhelming evidence of "the pharaoh's science" (i.e. |

| | The Irony of Western Ideas in a Multicultural World |
| | In cultural account, the Russian elite’s rejection of Western ideas would be natural because Russia’s worldview is based on a different set of cultural values reflected in their distinct religion, language, and ethnicity. | | | Culturalists view the world as inherently multicultural and emphasize the role of factors of essentialist nature, such as ethnicity, language and religion (e.g., Bozeman 1984; Brubaker 1996). | | | Being “an American Social Science” (Hoffmann 1977), international relations is an area of inquiry that reflects and perpetuates the Western civilizational vision and remains relatively closed to influences from the rest of the world (see Alker and Biersteker 1984; Holsti 1985; Kahler 1993; Inayatullah and Blaney 1996; Waever 1998; Audinli and Mathews 2000). |

| | Secondly, there were outstanding scholars in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries who presented Buddhism to the Western world through editions and translations of Buddhist scriptures and their research. | | | If what follows should seem to be no more than a bead?roll of the names of those to whom the Western world today owes its knowledge of the Buddha and his teaching, attention has to be drawn to those who founded the study of Buddhism in faculties and universities all over the world. | | | Finally, certain misrepresentations of Buddhism which persist in the minds of Westerners need to be removed and a brief positive account of what Buddhism has to offer to our modern world presented. |

| | The world does not exist within the great balance of the cosmos and its harmony, but rather, as God's creation, is directed toward the future of his kingdom, and for that reason is temporal. | | | I am referring above all to that particular shaping of the Western world by the "Old Testament," by Abraham's exodus and covenant, by the God of Israel, and by the visions of the prophets. | | | Modernity and the Western world must come to terms with their crises of values on their own. |

| | The physical - and religious - proximity of Christianity and Islam influenced sacred imagery, notably in the way some Muslim artists borrowed from Christian tradition to paint scenes from the life of the Prophet (although in some cases the face of Muhammad was later obliterated to conform with prevailing iconophobia). | | | In that sense, then, the present crisis over Islamic fundamentalism is just one more chapter in a very old story. | | | "In everything I do or write, I try to say what I feel, that I am deeply Western and Eastern, that I am the son of a double genealogy," Meddeb explained. |
