Concluding Discussion of the Relationship to Nature and the Interpretation of Technology in the World Religions
Chapter
Abstract
In his synthesis Chattopadhyaya did not so much emphasize the contradictions between the religions as neutralize them. Max Weber asserted that in an Asian tradition one understands oneself as a vessel of God that receives everything into itself, while in a Western tradition one sees oneself as a tool, as an acting instrument of God. This contradiction is missing from the synthesis. (Brumlik)
