RT Article T1 Concluding discussion of the relationship to nature and the interpretation of technology in the world religions JF A discourse of the world religions ; 3: Nature and technology in the world religions SP 138 OP 139 A1 Hermanni, Friedrich 1958- LA English YR 2001 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1663276501 AB In his synthesis Chattopadhyaya did not so much emphasize the contradictions between the religions as neutralize them. Max Weber asserted that in an Asian tradition one understands oneself as a vessel of God that receives everything into itself, while in a Western tradition one sees oneself as a tool, as an acting instrument of God. This contradiction is missing from the synthesis. (Brumlik) SN 1402001886
