Yair Lior on Kabbalah and Neo-Confucianism
At our first BUJS forum of 2015, Visiting Researcher Yair Lior (Religion) traced cross-cultural patterns in the development of Kabbalah and Neo-Confucianism. Both movements radically altered the canons of established traditions but were nevertheless able to achieve legitimacy. Dr. Lior will compared these two case studies and considered a broader question: how do religious traditions adapt to cultural change?
