池田大作与季羡林谈东西方文化——以《畅谈东方智慧》为中心

Daisaku Ikeda and Ji Xianlin on Western and Eastern Cultures——A profile from Speeches on Eastern Wisdoms

池田大作和季羡林都主张文化产生多元论;重视东西方文化交流;认为东方文化体系的思维模式是综合的,西方是分析的;分别主张用"天人合一"和"依正不二"的智慧来处理人与自然的关系;分歧在于文化体系的分类以及在21世纪东方文化是否将取代西方文化的问题,其原因是思想基础、所属国家、文化背景等的差异。

Daisaku and Ji Xianlian share a lot of views on cultures： they both uphold that there are many origins of culture; they stress on the cultural communications between East and West; they believe comprehensive thinking mode of Eastern cultural system and analytical of Western cultural system; and they argue, respectively, that man-nature relationship should be dealt with through the wisdoms of ＂man-nature in one＂ or ＂life-envi t unity＂ Nevertheless, they show disagreements in the cultural system classification and the possibility of replacement of Western culture by Eastern in the 21 st century. The agreements are result of their different thought basis, nationalities and cultural backgrounds.
