Japanese Responses to Evolutionary Theory, with Particular Focus on Nichiren Buddhists (Yulia Burenina). 330 $aThis volume brings together diverse Asian religious perspectives to address critical issues in the encounter between tradition and modern western evolutionary thought. Such thought encompasses the biological theories of Charles Darwin, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, Earnest Haeckel, Thomas Huxley, and later ?neo-Darwinians,? as well as the more sociological evolutionary theories of thinkers such as Herbert Spencer, Pyotr Kropotkin, and Henri Bergson. The essays in this volume cover responses from Hindu, Jain, Buddhist (Chinese, Japanese, and Indo-Tibetan), Confucian, Daoist, and Muslim traditions. These responses come from the decades immediately after publication of The Origin of Species up to the present, with attention being paid to earlier perspectives and teachings within a tradition that have affected responses to Darwinism and western evolutionary thought in general. The book focuses on three critical issues: the struggle for survival and the moral implications read into it; genetic variation and its seeming randomness as related to the problems of meaning and purpose; and the nature of humankind and human exceptionalism. Each essay deals with one or more of the three issues within the context of a specific tradition. 410 0$aSophia studies in cross-cultural philosophy of traditions and cultures ;$vVolume 33. 606 $aEvolution$xReligious aspects 615 0$aEvolution$xReligious aspects. 676 $a213 702 $aBrown$b Cheever Mackenzie$4edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910430357103321 996 $aAsian religious responses to Darwinism$91916542 997 $aUNINA
