Abstract | Snodgrass challenges the predominant view that Asian cultures are objectified and understood strictly through Western ideas. Based on a detailed examination of presentations by Japanese Buddhists at the World Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893,Snodgrass argues that Buddhists themselves helped reformulate Buddhism into a modern world religion. 1893年日僧參加「世界宗教會議」,日本佛教始傳入西方. 作者在分析此事件時,指出日本佛教徒在快速變遷的時代理,如何為達成對西方的需求及恢復自身的地位,將佛教重塑為世界宗教. 作者並闡釋這項會議所展現的佛教,是迫於日本明治維新在制度. 社會與政治等方面的需要所形成,且由於這項會議瀰漫著美國新教信心滿滿的優越感,是故會議本身也決定了佛教的形式. 作者認為,在當時日本與西方頻繁交涉的背景下,日本的宗教事件已非單純的宗教性質,而應視為日本希望被國際接納的一個企圖. |
