| Summary: | Three comparative examples illustrate in the first part how human thinking is embedded in cultural contexts: the belief in reincarnation versus the belief in one life on earth only, Hindu versus Western concepts of illness and health, the Indian Ramakrishna versus the French Madeleine Le Bouc. The second part tries to explain what having experience, both religious and non-religious, means within such cultural contexts. It clearly distinguishes the initial event and the cultural patterns of interpretation from experience as the identification of both with each other so that the event becomes meaningful. The third part gives some examples of patterns of interpretation offered by different religions. The conclusion says that experience, both religious and non-religious, depends on the knowledge of ist respective patterns of interpretation. |
