Features: In its early days, the study of religion was once called "comparative religion," and this spirit and methodology were preserved as one of the true essence of religious studies. The famous Western founder of religious studies, Max Müller, once said, "Who knows only one religion knows nothing." This famous quote fully illustrates the significance and importance of religious comparison. To study religion, one must engage in comparative religious studies. In the contemporary context of "globalization" and the "global village," the existence and development of religion itself also require comparison, communication, and dialogue among each other, seeking harmonious coexistence and unity in cooperation on the basis of mutual understanding. This book is the third issue of "Religious Comparison and Dialogue." The entire book is divided into sections such as "Religion and Society," "Religion and Philosophy," "Religion and Science," "Religion and Ethics," and "Scholar Reviews," to introduce various academic perspectives, analyze current hot issues, summarize historical experiences and lessons, and explore theoretical and intellectual exchanges. Through academic-level communication, dialogue, and discussion, we hope to eliminate misunderstandings and enhance understanding, overcome differences and expand consensus, and achieve more gains and sharing in recognizing the true nature of religion and understanding its significance.
