Dear Viviana, Pick up most Asian Philosophy textbooks (we are not talking religions only) and you will find they mirror the topics at the Asian Phil. conference. You will also find in our Phil. Dept. that Aquinas, Anselm, Augustine, Soren K., Leibniz, Spinoza, Kant et al and their Christian views get extensive coverage (especially in the Intro to Phil. classes which have a number of students).
Let me remind you and readers that Philosophy and Religion are two separate disciplines, this is not a relegious conference. I agree that the three major religions began in the same spot but that has nothing to do with why it should be included/excluded in an Asian Philosophy Conf. I have already explained why Muslim Phil. was included. Sorry, no Christian political pressure or polemic is going to change the agenda here ;-) George --- Viviana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > George - in view of the fact that all three MAJOR monotheistic religions began in >the same > spot, I do feel that Judaism and Christianity are as Eastern as Islam, and should >be included if Islam is being included. They, too, straddle "the two broad classifications." Surely you could find "very keen" people wanting to speak on Christianity and Judaism as well?? Someone caved in to political pressure. > > Viviana > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
