Religions, especially in Asia, represent, even today, more than
"folkloristic residues," as they were teUingly described in one of our
sessions. Moreover, no great Asian reUgion, whether Hinduism,
Buddhism, or the popular Chinese mixture of Confucianism, Tao
ism, and Buddism, may be categorized among "single factors." For
these traditions, world order is not, as it is for us, a matter to which
they may sometimes turn their attention.
