The Interpretation Death and after Death Life in Classical Chinese Philosophy.
MARINA CARNOGURSKA, Kabinet orientalistiky SAV, Bratislava
The paper is a comparative study: it compares the traditional European
ideas based on Christian conception of death and after death life with
the classical oriental philosophical conceptions and worldviews. The Christian
conception is compared with Indian and Chinese nonsubstantial ontological
theories as „nirvana“, i.e. blowing out into a stream of formless energy
(“shunia“), Emptiness, or into an endless stream of pure energy (Te) of
the Way of Tao , which is the ground of bipolar-dialectical cyclical motion
of the Universe, and according to oriental conceptions continually recreated
and realized.
