Truth Claims ◽  
New Vision

Religions often offered themselves as answers to suffering. Not infrequently the adherents of a certain religion consider the answer of their own religion to suffering to be the best, as it is based on one’s truth-claim. Recently in South-East Asia, this kind of truth-claim can be detected also in the phenomena of ‘commodification of religions’ done by various groups within Christianity, Buddhism and Islam, thus causing rivalry and intolerance. It was Paul Knitter who first describes global suffering, or ‘the pain of the world’ as religious challenge for all religions. In Indonesia, the recent social and natural disasters can be interpreted as a challenge to the established tolerance nurtured by the state ideology Pancasila, which does not question truth-claims. Panikkar’s view on religious pluralism is accepted, but only after broadening its horizon of rationality to include the people’s experience of disasters, to enable a new vision of religious tolerance.

The author describes the political concepts of Sun Yat-sen, leader of the Kuomintang party, whose views largely shaped the thinking of the Chinese elite about the modernization of the state and China’s place in the world. These concepts are considered in relation to contemporary interpretations of the systemic and economic development of the People’s Republic of China, the otherness of the ‘Confucian capitalism’ of East Asia, the limitations of the western concept of global government, and the crisis of neoliberal globalization.

‘From kingdom to colony’ explains that in the late 19th and early 20th centuries Korea became exposed to the new Western-dominated world of modern imperialism. The political and social order was seriously challenged, and the very existence of the state was threatened. Koreans responded by carrying out reforms and rethinking their ideas about their society and its place in the world. Despite their efforts at meeting the challenges it faced, their country fell under Japanese rule. With their limited connections to the world outside East Asia, Koreans were unprepared for the intrusion of modern imperialism, but they adjusted to the technological, institutional, and intellectual challenges of modernization, and an intense, passionate nationalism emerged.
