This dissertation studies the critical and historical examination of modern Japanese Buddhism in terms of its collaboration with and resistance to ultranationalism and militarism before and during World War II. It also examines how Buddhism came to Japan and transformed itself according to the historical, social and political contexts throughout history. Also it shows how and why Japanese Buddhism has transformed the Gautama Buddha's teachings, the Dhamma and the notion of community, Sangha to its own in terms in relationship to the state. In order to examine the Japan's modern-nation-state's invention of installing a national consciousness and identity in the people through the means of State Shinto and the emperor, kokutai ideology after the Meiji Restoration in 1868, I apply the methodologies of social critical theories of James Scott, Benedict Anderson, Michel Foucault and Pierre Bourdieu. After the Tokugawa shogunate's long patronage of Buddhism (1602-1868), the dissertation examines how modern Japanese Buddhism was challenged by the Meiji state, and transformed itself to meet the need of the modern-nation-state centered on State Shinto and kokutai ideology. Moreover, it exposes how Japanese Buddhism struggled to meet the modernity itself such as individuality and socialization. Furthermore, in the 1930-40's, in the context of rise of ultranationalism and militarism in the name of "overcoming modernity," this dissertation explores how the Japanese Buddhist sects such as True Pure Land, Nichiren, Zen, and the Kyoto School collaborated with and resisted to them. Despite the main Japanese Buddhism's active participation in the war, there were few Japanese Buddhists' resistances. The dissertation examines why and how they could not effectively resist but failed. Moreover, the dissertation shows that there were several opportunities that Japanese Buddhism might have stopped the state's control of religions--the rise of ultranationalism and war ideology in the cases of Uchimura Kanzô's lese majeste in the 1890's, the state's failures of ratification on the Religious Organization Law twice in the 1920's, and Seno'o Girô's anti-fascist movements in the 1930's--the Buddhists had had critical minds and organizational wills alongside with the interreligious cooperation with Christianity and new religions. Thus, this dissertation critically examines Japanese Buddhism in three terms; the social critical ethics, the interreligious dialogue, and the trans-national dialogue. It shows why and how Japanese Buddhism lost the Buddha's critical mind, social ethics, the democratic origin of Sangha, as well as the trans-national dialogue with Korean, Chinese and South Asian Buddhists and eventually justified the Japanese imperial aggression against Asia. I hope that my dissertation will help the Japanese Buddhists undertake a self-critical examination of their involvement in World War II, and would set up a good example of self-criticism of religion and nationalism. It could certainly help the current Islamic people's struggles for democracy, nationalism and holy war. Also in case of China's nationalistic expansionism which resembles the Japan of 1930-40's, in the name of nationalism and social harmony, religious freedom was limited to the inner private realm, but its public role in checking nationalism was suppressed. Tibetan Buddhism, Falun Gong and house Christian churches cried out for their freedom. Therefore the self-critical examination of the rise and fall of the Japanese empire in terms of religion, religious freedom and ultranationalism might help Chinese religions and intellectuals as well as other cases involving religion, nationalism and war.

At the heart of this thesis lies the argument that pilgrimage is a universal, longrooted, normal and vital aspect of human behaviour that shows no sign of abating in the modern world; that is is a fluid and flexible process, imbued with a multiplicity of meanings and functions that may fall inside or outside the authentication of large religious traditions and certainly existed before them; that the primary measure of pilgrimage should be that of intent or purpose and therefore pilgrimages can be categorised according to function; and that the inner journey is the most important feature of authentic pilgrimage but does not overrule obligation or traditional practice.

Full textПандемія коронавірусу розірвала звичні зв’язки між виробниками та споживачами у всьому світі та внесла серйозні зміни в бізнес транспортних та логістичних компаній. У сфері авіаційних вантажів по всьому світу спостерігається зменшення попиту на 15%. Таким чином, скасування пасажирських рейсів також вплинуло на вартість послуг з доставки вантажів, оскільки більшість із них раніше доставлялися пасажирськими літаками. Вантажних літаків практично немає в жодній авіакомпанії світу через дуже високу собівартість. Тому тарифи зросли більш ніж у 2 рази. Що стосується імпорту, то тут були проблеми накопичення товарів у терміналах та аеропортах через скасування пасажирських перевезень. У цій ситуації, щоб підтримувати рівень авіаперевезень вантажів, авіакомпанії та вантажні термінали змушені знаходити нові можливості для перевезення вантажів та створювати нові умови для їх здійснення. Одночасне перевезення вантажів і пасажирів Згідно з чинними обмеженнями повітряного руху, все більше авіакомпаній починають використовувати свої пасажирські літаки для вантажних рейсів. Крім того, для перевізників запроваджуються вимоги щодо соціальної відстані пасажирів під час сидіння. Китайський постачальник послуг MRO Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Co. (HAECO), яка спеціалізується на дизайні інтер’єрів, проектуванні, сертифікації та переконфігурації літаків, та HAECO Cabin Solutions (Грінсборо, США) розробили рішення, які дозволяють авіакомпаніям перевозити вантаж у салоні пасажирських літаків. На основі цих тенденцій створено HAECO Cabin Solutions чотири рішення, що дозволяють авіакомпаніям одночасно перевозити вантаж і людей у салоні літака, дотримуючись усіх відповідних вимог щодо ваги та балансування, використовуючи посилки для віддалення пасажирів.

Full textLa pensée ismaélienne contemporaine voit la tradition ismaélienne comme étant connectée à un passé historique basé sur des principes coraniques et les traditions du Prophète Muhammad et ses héritiers, les Imams chiites. Ainsi, les valeurs libérales comme la démocratie, le pluralisme et l'éducation au sein de l'ismaélisme contemporain sont en effet des formes contemporaines de principes éternels tirés de l'éthique coranique. L'Imam de la communauté ismaélienne, l'Aga Khan IV a précisé que les principes du pluralisme démocratique libéral sont le meilleur moyen de réaliser une éthique de vie islamique à l'époque actuelle. Afin de soutenir son double mandat d'améliorer la qualité de vie spirituelle ainsi que la qualité de vie matérielle de ses disciples, il a fondé Le Réseau Aga Khan de développement (AKDN). Grâce à ses programmes de développement rural, l'AKDN enseigne des valeurs libérales et les meilleures pratiques, et, de plus, est capable d'inspirer un sentiment universel de loyauté et de fraternité. Ainsi, l'AKDN est devenu un instrument clé dans la formation de la communauté ismaélienne transnationale. La communauté ismaélienne est fortifiée à travers le travail pratique et idéologique des institutions de l'Imamat, comme l'Institut d'Études ismaéliennes (IIS) de Londres (Royaume-Uni), une institution universitaire qui publie des ouvrages sur l'histoire et la pensée ismaélienne. L'IIS est le principal centre de recherche contemporaine sur l'ismaélisme, une tradition qui souffre d'un manque d'information étant donné ses longues années de persécution et sa marginalisation dans la communauté islamique. Il y a donc un manque actuel d'études sur cette tradition, surtout en ce qui concerne les contours de sa pensée contemporaine. Vu cette négligence de la part des chercheurs et l'ampleur du travail réalisé par les institutions ismaéliennes, l'IIS joue ainsi un rôle essentiel dans la compréhension de l'historiographie ismaélienne contemporaine et les préoccupations de la communauté actuelle. La production littéraire ayant rapport aux buts de cette thèse se limite donc aux travaux des savants qui travaillent dans les domaines de l'histoire et l'historiographie ismaéliennes et aux travaux à propos de la confluence entre l'éthique islamique contemporaine et la politique libérale. L'interprète principal, cependant, de la tradition contemporaine ismaélienne est l'Imamat ismaélien lui-même. Malgré le manque d'études scientifiques sur le travail de l'Imamat, il y a une historiographie implicite dans la production de l'Aga Khan - ses discours, interviews, et sa direction des institutions de l'Imamat - qui puisse souligner les thèmes jugés pertinents par lui et par la communauté ismaélienne en ce qui concerne leur conception d'une éthique islamique bien adaptée au monde moderne. La construction de son propre récit historique par l'ismaélisme contemporain propose l'image d'une minorité influente et intellectuelle qui fortifie sa dévotion à l'éducation institutionnalisée et à la gouvernance éthique grâce à un dévouement inébranlable à l'éthique du pluralisme, soutenu par la force de l'Imamat interminable, qui guide la communauté à travers les vicissitudes de la persécution récurrente. Ismaélisme contemporain, donc, s'appuie fortement sur son passé pour sa légitimité et pour se donner un élan pour son présent. En dernière analyse, la pensée ismaélienne contemporaine se considère comme profondément ancrée dans la tradition islamique et, grâce aux conseils de l'Imam, elle se sert d'une interprétation libérale des principes coraniques. Elle voit son passé comme étant un guide pour son présent, et, en même temps qu'elle propose que les valeurs libérales modernes sont en accord avec l'éthique coranique, elle soutient aussi que son interprétation des principes essentiels et de l'éthique de sa foi n'ont jamais changés. En accord avec la doctrine chiite, d'ailleurs, elle sait ajustée la forme de sa foi à la vie contemporaine.
