Description
Summary:This article focuses on revealing, from the perspective of metaphysics, different integration approaches in dialogues between Catholicism and Daoist philosophy adopted in Catholic studies in Taiwan. Three Taiwanese philosophers (as well as theologians) are included. Each one represents a particular way to approach the relationship between Catholicism and Daoism. Through a comparative approach we are able to see a valuable fusion of Catholicism and Daoist philosophy. And hopefully, these different methods will shed a light on the inculturation of Catholic thought in Asia.
