あらすじ・解説
This text excerpts a book critiquing Western universalism through the lens of Indian thought. It contrasts the West's anxiety towards chaos with Dharmic traditions' comfort in complexity and ambiguity, highlighting differing views on history's religious significance. The author argues that Western frameworks often misunderstand or ignore non-Western perspectives, promoting a biased "universal" viewpoint. Further, the text explores difference anxiety in both dominant and subordinate cultures, analysing how this impacts intercultural interactions and the misrepresentation of Dharmic traditions. Finally, the author advocates for a "reversed gaze," utilising Dharmic principles to critically examine Western assumptions.
