宗教的市场向面与超越向面

Market and Transcending Orientation of Religion

宗教现象是复杂的,可以从不同的角度进行考察。宗教有追求终极实在的超越向面,也有像商品买卖一样的市场经济的世俗向面。要对宗教进行有效管理,需考虑这两个向面的互动关系。

Complex as it is, the matter of religion can be investigation from different perspectives. For religion shows not only a transcending orientation of pursuing the ultimate existence, but also a secular orientation resembling merchant dealing in market economy. The interaction between these two orientations ought to be taken into account to bring religion into effective administration.
