'Hiç' Nerdeyse Mucizeler Görür! Psikolojisi ve Dinde Ben ve Ben-Dışı

Bu makale, Batının ben ve Doğunun ben-dışı anlayışlarının oluşturduğu dualitenin bir başına Batılı düşünce mirası içinde de yer aldığını göstermektedir. Dolayısıyla, ben-dışılık anlayışı Asya dinlerinin bir özelliğidir fikri ancak kısmen doğru olabilir. Sözkonusu dualitenin özgül ifadesi, bu dualite Doğu ile Batı arasında değil de psikoloji ile din arasında telakki edildiğinde daha makul bir zemin kazanmaktadır. Öte yandan, Jung'un zannettiğinin aksine psikoloji ve dinin ben anlayışları farklı ifadelerle dile getirilse de aynı psikolojik durumu işaretlemektedir.

This essay indicates that the duality of self and no-self, one being from the Western concept of self and the other from the Eastern concept of no-self, does also exist in the legacy of the Western thought. Therefore, the idea that the conception of no-self is characteristic of Asian religions may only be partially true. This duality gains a more reasonable ground when it is perceived as being not in between East and West but in between religion and psychology. On the other hand, contary to what Jung thought about the case, the conceptions of both religion and psychology concerning self point out the same pschological state, though expressed with different terms.
