[KS] Korea-related content in March 2017 issue of "Cross-Currents: East Asian History and Culture Review"

[Keila Diehl]

Dear colleagues,


The open-access March 2017 issue of the e-journal /Cross-Currents: East 
Asian History and Culture Review/ includes a special essay by Professor 
Paik Nak-chung (SNU) titled, "/Won-/Buddhism and a Great Turning in 
Civilization: The Role of Religion." 
<https://cross-currents.berkeley.edu/e-journal/issue-22/paik> Paik 
writes that the Korean religion /Won/-Buddhism, whose founding motto is 
“With this Great Opening of matter, let there be a Great Opening of 
spirit,” arguably possesses great potential, implicitly proposing a 
double project of at once adapting to and overcoming modernity. Paik 
explores this relatively new religion’s global significance, drawing on 
the work of Martin Heidegger, Karl Marx, and Roberto Unger to develop 
his analysis.
