本文以全球化理论的几个流派为基础,结合作者的前期工作,提出了一种全球化背景下的立正青年会研究的多维视角。分析表明,这一以基督教为基础的新宗教运动以各种形式参与全球动态。立正合成会不仅通过互联网、国际合作等活动为全球文化做出了贡献,而且还在地方层面创造了新的宗教混合形式,这一点在最近对环境危机的机构关注中表现得很明显。还有迹象表明,这些进程本身表明积极参与全球化,但可能与维护特殊主义纠缠在一起。对全球宗教交流日益增多的反应和宗教价值观的相对化也进行了探讨,这表明了官方对多元化的认可和包容主义的潜在趋势。在系统层面上,立正合成会(作为全球宗教子系统的一部分)被证明参与了与政治和科学等占主导地位的全球子系统的边界谈判,并解决这些子系统遗留下来的未解决的问题,试图在全球社会中找到宗教的合法性。
Based on several streams of globalization theory and the author’s previous work, this article proposes a multidimensional approach to the study of Risshō Kōseikai under globalization. The analysis shows that this Buddhism-based new religious movement is involved in global dynamics in various guises. Not only does Risshō Kōseikai contribute to global culture through its presence on the Internet, international cooperation, and other activities, but it also acts as a glocalizer by creating new religious hybrid forms at the local level, as is evident in the recent institutional interest in the environmental crisis. There are also indications that these processes, which per se denote a positive engagement with globalization, may be entangled with the defense of particularism. Reactions to the increasing global availability of religious communication and the relativization of religious values are also explored, which indicate the official endorsement of pluralism and an underlying tendency toward inclusivism. At the systemic level, Risshō Kōseikai (as part of the global religious subsystem) is shown to be engaged in border negotiations with dominant global subsystems such as politics and science, and in addressing residual problems left unsolved by these subsystems in an attempt to find legitimation for religion in global society.
