Abstract:

Abstract enThough changing in accord with the concepts of cosmology and anthropology set out by themselves, religions are monopolist, unique, and exclusive in terms of both the truth claims that are destined to provide happiness and tranquility both in this world, and in the next realm, and of the salvage paradigms dependent upon this truth. In the individual and societal project of religions weaved according to that truth principle, and to the creed based on this principle, religions construct their “nearer”, while forming the “other”, who are regarded as outside of salvation. In order to solve the problem of inability to live together caused by an ethos created by cult-centric civilizational modes, which are both hierarchical and elitist, and especially by the homogenizing and disjointing manifestations of Modernité, this study aims at disentangling this problem with the following phases: (1) Diagnosis (historical, theological, and existential sources of the problem); (2) Potentialities of Prognosis (to be recruited from history, Zeitgeist, and mores-codes); (3) Therapy. And this therapy may cover the following types, source,  or modes of therapeutical procedures: Ontological Pot, Epistemological Platform, Ethical / Moral Perspective, Aesthetical Principles, Historical Panorama, Socio-economic and Socio-politic Compass, and Human-World-Cosmos-God Pyramid. The end  (the thesis of this study) that will be reached by this therapeutical procedures is this: For her/his own future and that of the world and cosmos, human being realizes and actualizes a global convivencia (“living together and unisonously”), or a general mixvarvaroi (“variegated becoming”) through the sprit of ta ‘âruf (evolving into civilization- prosperity and fraternity via “acquaintance and wisdomization”). Thenceforth, the undulation between “other” and “nearer” within religions largely based on power struggle and search may able to reach tranquility and peace (salam / “i”slam) via making human being “nearer” of the constructing subject. And thus this sets the stage for constructing a chain of global peace and tranquility, of which destiny and character is dependent upon each other.
