Religious and Philosophical Traditions of Korea addresses a wide
range of traditions, serving as a guide to those interested in
Buddhism, Confucianism, Shamanism, Christianity and many others. It
brings readers along a journey from the past to the present, moving
beyond the confines of the Korean peninsula. In this book Kevin N.
Cawley examines the different ideas which have shaped a vibrant and
exciting intellectual history and engages with some of the key
texts and figures from Korea's intellectual traditions. This
comprehensive and riveting text emphasises how some of these ideas
have real relevance in the world today and how they have practical
value for our lives in the twenty-first century. Students,
researchers and academics in the growing area of Korean Studies
will find this book indispensable. It will also be of interest to
undergraduates and graduate students interested in the comparative
study of Asian religions, philosophies and cultures.
Transnational East Asian Studies demonstrates how transnationalism
as a mode of intellectual enquiry has wide-ranging
interdisciplinary potential and has immense value when examining
the past, just as much as much as when examining the present.
Artificially erected borders, which appear on maps and globes, fail
to consider the ways people in diverse regions live and practice
their everyday lives, existing beyond boundaries. The people of
East Asia have always been on the move, they have never been
homogeneous, and have evolved together, not apart. In this sense,
people around the globe and also in East Asia have always been
involved in a process of change and transformation. Hence,
transnationalism is a way to overcome methodological nationalism,
not only as a concept of identity and spatiality, but also as a
concept temporally situated in the modern, because as a
methodology, transnationalism does not take the national as a
precondition. It allows us to move beyond and across borders, and
to examine how ideas have been used and transformed in different
contexts. This book thus underscores the complex interactions in
the context of East Asia, past and present, while shaping the
future of this complicated region.
