Front end

Template will need to include:

  • Basic demographics; (numbers of people in tradition) - don't highlight this (infobox) > [Is this really needed or do we link to wikipedia which has all this info and more?]
  • [The following is the core element of the traditional template] Views on emergence in general, typologies of EPEEs, normal VS abnormal, and developmental models; i.e. what is ok and what is not, how do you deal with them when they arise > Structure this according to the DSM stuff! DSM 5 categories for religious exemption (structure questions around the categories e.g. hallucination, pscyhosis, etc. What would you say applies to this exemption according to your tradition?)
  • Beliefs and views (what are you?) nature of experience, consciousness, humans
    • Beliefs, Views, Metaphysics — e.g. reality, substance, causality, properties, relations, categories of beings, universals, particulars, space, time, freedom, …, these are some of the topic of metaphysics (Sjösdedt-Hughes, 2023).
      1. Ontology
        • Nature of Reality, Mind, and Being in General
          • Substantialist views
            • Monisms
              • Idealist Monisms — Solipsism, Immaterialism, etc.
              • Materialist Monisms — Physicalism, Eliminativism, Behaviorism, Emergentism, Epiphenomenalism, etc.
              • Other Monisms — Neutral monism, Panpsychism, Biopsychism, Theistic Monism (Islam), etc.
            • Dualisms — Mind-body Dualism, Interactionism
            • Pluralisms — Platonic Theory of Ideas, Animism, Infinite Aspects Monism (Spinoza), Triune God (arguably, Catholicism, though usually thought of as a monotheism with three hyposthases)
          • Non-substantialist Metaphysics
            • Phenomenological Ontologies — Michel Henry’s non-intentional phenomenology, Merleau-Ponty’s Endo-ontology
            • Functionalism (Bitbol, 2010) (Ernst Cassirer: Subject/Object, the cognitive relation, has no ontological grounding, only a functional one)
            • Non-foundationalist non-substantialism — Thinkers and traditions that hold there is no intrinsic ultimate substance nor a specific ultimate origin or foundation to phenomena, and that such concepts are in fact mistaken. Meister Eckhart seemed close to this, Parmenides as well, Buddhist philosophy of dependent origination (inter-being) and Emptiness (e.g. Madhyamika philosophy), perhaps Nietzsche, William James, Rob Burbea, etc.
          • Agnosticism
      2. Real beings? Categories of beings? Order of beings?
        • Deity/Deities
          • Monotheism, Polytheism, Pantheism, Deism, Panentheism, Atheism, etc.
          • Creator God ?
          • Hierarchy of beings, ex : Quantum Bayesianism; String Theory; Periodic Table of the Elements; Celestial hierarchies (Pseudo-Dionysius) ; Greek Pantheon (Dodecatheism) ; The Great Chain of Being; etc.
          • True Nature of Ultimate Being - ex : Brahman; Śūnyatā
          • True Nature of Beings - ex : Transcendent Realism (e.g. Angels really exist somewhere);  Immortal Soul; Atman; Non-essentialism (Śūnyatā); Atomism
          • True Nature of phenomenal existence and individual subjectivity - ex : Maya, illusory; The thing in itself (Kant); Phenomenalism: phenomena (including perhaps angels) do appear but do not have “real”, inherent reality, being, or substance “behind” or “underneath” phenomena.
      3. Cosmology
        • Origins and Ends
          • of the Cosmos — e.g. Creation in 7 days; Causation without foundation (Bitbol, 2014) ; Dependent Origination: no foundation but radical interdependence); Continual creation (Bergson); Big Bang
          • of Beings
        • Laws ruling the Cosmos — ex : God’s Will; Karma
          • Man's place in the Cosmos;
          • Status and Nature of individual agency - ex : Free Will
  • Epistemics (where does the knowledge come from? divine revelation/textual/etc.)
    1. Epistemology —Whence does valid knowledge/perception/cognition arise ?
      • Sources of knowledge — e.g. Perception (Direct perception: Phenomenology, Pramana), Reflection/Reasoning, Faith, Reliable testimony, Revelation, Intuition, Authority — Scriptures, Religious Figures…, Experimental reproducibility/falsifiability…
      • Logic — E.g. Inference, Comparison and analogy, Self-evidence/Apodicticity, Postulation, derivation - Induction, Truth and Justification, Valid Cognition
      • Theory of mind, knower/known
  • Soteriological doctrine what saves you and what are you being saved from
    • Soteriology - This is related to but not the same as Metaphysics. What is Salvation ? How is it attained ? What is it we need to be saved from? e.g.: Experiential knowledge (Buddhism), Knowledge (Gnosticism), Faith and Devotion (Catholicism), Different possibilities (Hinduism sees Jñana, Karma, Bhakti, as different but equally valid paths to salvation).
  • Preferred linguistics and key concepts woven through the document (Olivier notes: I've begun something like this in Zenkit in the Lexicon collection which can be integrated)
  • [Possible additional elements]
    • Authority
      • Scriptural
      • Temporal - Organized Religion ? Clergy ? Hierarchies ?
    • Rituals and Practices (e.g. Rituals of Devotion, Dietary practices, Meditative practices);
    • Religious Institutions and Affiliation
    • Modes of Living, Codes and Precepts (ex : Priesthood, Monasticism, Laity)
    • Ethical principles;
