This book offers a uniquely process relational oriented Chinese
approach to inter-religious dialogue called Chinese Harmonism. The
key features of Chinese harmonism are peaceful co-existence, mutual
transformation, and openness to change. As developed with help from
Whiteheadian process thought, Chinese harmonism provides a middle
way between particularism and universalism, showing how diversity
can exist within unity. Chinese harmonism is open to similarities
among religions, but it also emphasizes that differences among
religions can be complementary rather than contradictory. Thus
Chinese harmonism implies an attitude of respect for others and a
willingness to learn from others, without reducing the other to one
s own identity: that is, to sameness. By emphasizing the
possibility of complementariness, a process oriented Chinese
harmonism avoids a dichotomy between universalism and particularism
represented respectively by John Hick and S. Mark Heim, and will
make room for a genuine openness and do justice to the culturally
and religiously other. "
