| abstract | This article's hermeneutic approach accommodates transcultural interpretation of symbols and metaphors, prroviding for a "fusion of horizons" between civilizations with different cultural heritage. The idea that seemingly incommpatible symbols can be allusions to a common underlying meaning makes it possible to develop connections between worldviews and perspctives comonly considered incommensurable, in our case between the Bahá'í conncept of the Manifestation of God and corespoonding Chinese philosophical and religious concepts. This paper demonstrates that there are elements of the Chinese tradition that resonate deeply with the Bahá'í notion of the Manifestation of God. |
