Lex dixit in comments on my previous post, in criticizing religion in general: "There's also a dose of Eurocentrism, many Asian religions are far different from the Abrahamic, but because we live with the experience of the latter extapolăm idea that all are equally poco psychopathic or imbecile. "
The fact that is obvious Although there are qualitative differences between religions. It immediately poco see that is because, poco for example, Buddhism is more peaceful than Islam (though Buddhism take arǎturǎ poco May 1, see thread Fools non-Abrahamic). It is well to observe the nuances existing religious philosophies, such as The fact that between Eastern religions Although there are qualitative differences, and these differences conteazǎ.
Overconfidence world and he asked why not start industrialǎ revolution in China imperialǎ, but just in the cutting celǎlalt of Eurasia? High level equilibrium trap (high level equilibrium poco trap?) Is a theory that Mark Elvin attempting to explain the factors that have used her as the world sinicǎ extremely social and economic dezvoltatǎ that they do not ajungǎ England in the 18th century. Among numerous economic reasons did exist some interesting cultural schimbǎri. From reading Wikipedia:
"Totodatǎ a shift among intellectuals poco paradigmǎ from Taoism to Confucianism, used her as cercetǎrii academic interest poco treacǎ Instead, let the natural and mathematical sciences, Taoism considered as methods for investigating the mystical nature of the universe, the socialǎ and has a moral philosophy. According Elvin them, aceastǎ change produced an intellectual climate that was not conducive to technological innovation. [...] Elvin reporting that chinezǎ intelligentsia gradually abandoned in favor of Confucianism Taoism about the 14th century. "
"We discussed the issue at the rate of China's history Demograficǎ Dezvoltǎrii and I attended poco in college a few years ago. [...] The conclusion I reached was mainly culturalǎ.'s Easy to underestimate the extent to which traditional Confucianism is neofob , collectivist and hierarchical, it requires poco religious traditions forbidding the devastation and denigration of new inventions. cǎ civilization poco is considered decǎzuse from a state of perfection during Wise Kings and the main duty is SUPERVISOR class in all respects emulate their predecessors most enlightened. Analects reader explicitly instruct poco Instead, let us ignore new solutions to recurring problems, and recommends traditional techniques, an attitude that reflects a respect strǎmoşilor Toward spirits. poco " - Username K. Larson
I think is because, as most of the time, economic forces are the main drivers of social schimbǎrilor or inertia Whatever the case, but there is no denying any culturalǎ side. Probably explicatǎ above mutation was also the significant contribution to the way society has evolved chinezǎ.
As a notǎ suplimentary, we can say dacǎ Instead, let's make an analogy, cǎ and Europe is in a west ruptǎ "Taoist" with an individualistic spirit but where sciences represent a way to "know the mind of God" poco to actively paraphrase a quote often get wrong, and east "Confucian", drowned in nostalgia for the past perfect, that biblical time, and obsessed strǎmoşi and history, and a certain dose of neofobie, but a fixation on colectivistǎ own tribe .
I think it's too difficult to understand why. Perhaps the industrial revolution in Western Europe was just an accident. All these explanations seem plausible, but too plausible. Everything is reduced to religious or cultural determinism. And Christianity is neofob, ala Anglican as a neofil were up in sec 18? Reply Delete
"Economics Professor David S. Landes says was the reason why Because there was no Francis Bacon in China." "I'd have to say, China on the whole was not resistant to technological change. What China lacked was Thomas Hobbes." That's the funniest comment on that one site. Reply Delete
Here's an explanation of interest in the religious poco atmosphere in England http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Revolution # Causes_for_occurrence_in_Britain Subsection "Protestant work ethic" (all due, no longer quote cǎ is likely long) Anyway, I admit, a problem complexǎ and not reporting that I had given the cutting. But it's the idea interesantǎ related with China. Reply Delete
It's a big discussion on the religious but can not be denied in the Asian region. In China alone a religious poco mosaic, one of whose tenets folds though the general pattern (indeed influenced by Confucianism setback and other regulations). Reply Delete
