Text:
Comparing the spiritual experience of Albert Einstein (see: Kieran Fox, I am a Part of Infinity. The Spiritual Journey of Albert Einstein, 2025) with that of the Jesuits in the late Ming Dinasty and of Federico Borromeo at the Ambrosiana (see: [Pier Francesco Fumagalli] 傅马利, 《美学、科学与信 仰。昂布罗修图书馆跨越 400 年的探索。Estetica, scienza e fede. 400 anni dell'esplorazione della Biblioteca Ambrosiana, 杭州,浙江大学出版社,2023), we could learn how Arts, Sciences and Faiths may play a role in contemporary societies, in Asia and in Europe as well. From the so called Axial Age (Karl Jaspers, 1949) to the present situation of conflicts and wars, monotheistic Abrahamic Faiths (see John Andrew Murrow, The Covenants of the Prophet Muhammad with the Christians of the World, 2013), philosophical and scientific researches, and Buddhist, Shinto and Confucian values can cooperate in promoting justice, peace and respect for human dignity of each person and people.
