| | Eastern philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | However, Buddhist philosophy as such has its foundations more in the doctrines of anatta, which specifies that all is without substantial metaphysical being, pratitya-samutpada, which delineates the Buddhist concept of causality, and Buddhist phenomenological analysis of dharmas, or phenomenological constituents. | | | There, at the Shaolin temple, he began the Ch'an school of Buddhism, known in Japan and in the West as Zen Buddhism. | | | Sufism (تصوف taṣawwuf) is a school of esoteric philosophy in Islam, which is based on the pursuit of spiritual truth as a definite goal to attain. |

| | EASTERN PHILOSOPHY: |
| | Nevertheless, an important aspect of Hindu philosophy is that the universe, or the One, is a unity. | | | Eastern religious traditions in general, and Brahmanic Hinduism in particular, gravitate towards this notion of an indwelling or immanent God. | | | Distinguishing Eastern philosophy from religion, then, is an issue of emphasis: philosophy deals less with worship rituals and depictions of the gods, and more with larger questions of our relation to the cosmos. |

| | Understanding Eastern Philosophy is also a response to increasing doubt in the West about the value of formal expressions of religious belief, and the concurrent search for other sources offering a spiritual dimension to life. | | | Teasing out the central themes of religious philosophy, he concludes that a belief in the spiritual is essential and that the universal mysticism characteristic of Eastern thought provides a more realistic and rewarding path than is commonly supposed in the West. | | | Ray Billington challenges theism, particularly Christianity, with its belief in a personal God bestowing a certain version of 'truth', and rejects the idea of the immortality of the soul. |

| | During the final stages of Greek philosophy, Christianity made its appearance, affirming and diffusing itself in the Hellenic world as the one true religion, revealed by God and announced to men by Jesus Christ, the God-man. | | | Here Christian thought, utilizing Greek speculation, created its own philosophy in harmony with the dogmatic teaching which had been systematized by the Fathers of the Church. | | | This solution is present in the content of all those revealed truths which Christianity offers as the object of faith, truths which are made concrete in the dogmas of theism, of creation, of the cause of evil, and of the means by which man can redeem himself from evil and attain happiness. |

| | Many of the key ideas in Asian philosophy, as in western philosophy, can be traced to the so-called Axial period from 800 to 200 BC., where what we now refer to as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Carvaka, Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism and Legalism came to be developed. | | | The gap between theory and practice which seems almost constitutive of much of western philosophy is absent in Asian philosophy, where the focus is on liberation from attachment to self in the context not of individualism but communitarianism. | | | The department is committed to the study of the most important philosophical writings associated with these traditions, including writings from the Axial and later periods. |
