    Divine Hiddenness and Human Reason: Exploring the Epistemological Challenges in Contemporary Theism.Nathaniel Carter - 2025 - European Journal for Philosophy of Religion 17 (2):94-109.
    The idea of divine hiddenness looks for why there is no evident and unequivocal evidence of God's existence and seeks to answer these questions within the philosophy of religion. Those who criticize complain that if all things are being done well, he would be conspicuously displayed; the existence of these honest unbelievers indicates a lack of care or no such thing at all. To this, theists reply that divine hiddenness has needful purposes, e.g., keeping free will, provoking true faith, and (...)

    Existence, Faith, and the Absurd: Religious and Metaphysical Reflections in Chekhov’s Meta-Theatrical Plays.Hui Chen - 2025 - European Journal for Philosophy of Religion 17 (2):365-375.
    With the global spread of Chekhov’s plays in the 20th century, his works have transcended their literary origins to become foundational texts in modern theatre, influencing both dramatic realism and avant-garde experimentation. Beyond their structural and thematic innovations, Chekhov’s plays engage deeply with existential, metaphysical, and spiritual questions, making them fertile ground for religious and philosophical inquiry. His dramatic texts possess a _meta-theatrical_ quality, not only reflecting the human condition but also serving as a medium for grappling with themes of (...)

    The dance traditions embedded within the intangible cultural heritage of Shaanxi are not merely artistic expressions but also profound carriers of spiritual narratives, ritualistic symbolism, and collective memory. However, the modernization process has led to significant challenges in their preservation, including the aging of inheritors and the weakening of traditional transmission mechanisms.

    Moral Metaphysics in Religious Philosophy: A Dialogue Between Confucius and Kant.Guojun Jiang - 2025 - European Journal for Philosophy of Religion 17 (2):281-297.
    This study explores the possibility of a philosophical dialogue between Confucius and Kant on _moral metaphysics_, focusing on their respective understandings of the foundations of morality, ethical duty, and the ultimate purpose of moral life. While Kant’s moral philosophy is grounded in a rigorous metaphysical system of reason and autonomy, Confucius presents morality as an embodied practice, deeply intertwined with social harmony, ritual propriety (_li_), and human-heartedness (_ren_). Despite their differing philosophical frameworks—one rooted in Western rationalism and the other in (...)

    Spiritual and Philosophical Dimensions of Tang Dynasty Music and Dance: Cultural Revitalization in the 'Belt and road' Era.Zhang Lan - 2025 - European Journal for Philosophy of Religion 17 (2):126-141.
    The Tang Dynasty (618–907) stands as a pinnacle of cultural, artistic, and spiritual flourishing, with its music and dance embodying profound metaphysical, religious, and philosophical dimensions. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these art forms served as mediums for spiritual expression, ritualistic practice, and intercultural religious dialogue, particularly along the Silk Road. However, the challenge of revitalizing Tang Dynasty music and dance in contemporary times requires reconciling historical traditions with modern sensibilities, integrating religious and philosophical reflections, and leveraging innovative technologies to enhance (...)

    Theological and Philosophical Reflections on Historical Authenticity and Sacred Memory: The Interplay of Cognition, Faith, and Preservation.Zhenghan Li - 2025 - European Journal for Philosophy of Religion 17 (2):72-93.
    The preservation of historical archives is inherently linked to human memory, raising profound philosophical and theological questions about authenticity, truth, and the transmission of sacred and historical knowledge. While vivid oral narratives and reference data contribute to a more comprehensive collective memory, the reliability of historical records remains shaped by subjective cognition and sociocultural influences. This study examines the philosophical and religious dimensions of historical authenticity by analyzing the interplay between human memory, archival preservation, and epistemological trust. A human memory (...)

    Metaphors function not only as linguistic constructs but also as profound vehicles for spiritual and philosophical reflection in visual narratives. In cinema, multimodal metaphors—expressed through sound, imagery, and narrative structure—serve as powerful tools for conveying existential, ethical, and religious themes. Within the context of globalization and modernization, contemporary Chinese ethnic films often explore themes of ecological crisis, cultural displacement, and the search for identity. These themes, embedded in public consciousness, are projected onto the cinematic screen through a rich tapestry of (...)

    Theological and Ethical Reflections on Economic Power: U.S.-China Trade Policies Through the Lens of Historical Materialism and Religious Thought.Xinyu Wang & Feng Deng - 2025 - European Journal for Philosophy of Religion 17 (2):227-247.
    From a historical materialist perspective, the evolution of U.S. trade control policies toward China has been driven by the pursuit of economic and geopolitical interests. However, beyond material considerations, these policies also intersect with deeper ethical, philosophical, and even theological questions regarding justice, sovereignty, and the moral dimensions of economic power. Trade restrictions, embargoes, and economic coercion raise profound issues of fairness, global responsibility, and the ethical implications of economic warfare, particularly in the context of international relations shaped by ideological (...)

Initially serving as a medium for creative expression and social communication, graffiti has evolved from an act of defiance to a widely recognized form of urban artistry. However, this transformation raises deeper philosophical and theological questions about the nature of artistic legitimacy, the moral implications of public space utilization, and the tension between transgression and sacred expression.

    Seamus Heaney's exploration of identity politics has long been a subject of debate among scholars. While some view him as a creator of his own ethnic identity, others critique him as a fabricator of myths and idealized origins. However, the truth of Heaney’s engagement with ethnic identity is far more nuanced. His journey, evolving from a focus on communal attachment to active alienation, and ultimately to the deconstruction of binary oppositions, marks a significant shift from essentialism to pluralism.

    In a postmodern framework, the traditional subject-object dynamics within literature transform, eschewing possessive relationships for a symbiotic interplay mediated through vision. This shift is evident in the subversive narrative techniques of postmodern novels, where linear plots dissolve into fragmented memories and character development unfolds through nightmarish psychological narratives. This paper delves into the philosophical and theological implications of such narrative strategies in Eileen Chang’s The Little Reunion.
