  • Daoism Materialism

Eastern philosophy seems to adopt these praxes, despite their great differences from those accepted in the Western hemisphere, driven by Christianity and the belief that the earth’s purpose entails bending to the use of humans. Though Christianity dominates most of the world today, Daoism offers a distinct alternative, and critique, to Western methods of reasoning, as articulated by Laozi in The Daodejing. Throughout

This essay will feature works by Faivre, Stuckrad, Bergunder and Hanegraff as the main forms of literature which will support

    In his most famous publication, Weber studies the relationship between the ethics of ascetic Protestantism and the emergence of contemporary capitalism. He accounts bureaucracy as a key feature in modern society. This is in no way a detailed account of Protestantism itself but instead an introduction to his later studies such as “The Religion of China: Confucianism and Taoism” or “The Religion of India: The Sociology of Hinduism and Buddhism”. Weber argues that the “spirit” that defines capitalist ideas originates in the Protestant Reformation.
