Different religious and philosophical traditions

Reference no: EM13156582

How can different religious/philosophical traditions be understood as contributing to a shared human conversation about moral questions such as how one should conceive of their place in the world and relationship to others [i.e., descriptive matters that have to do with questions like what's the world like? what are the structures of power and meaning that prevail in the world/cosmos? what is the human being's experience of the world like?, etc.], and, accordingly, how one should understand the right or good way of acting and being in the world?[i.e., prescriptive matters that have to do with questions like how should one live, act, think, and to what ends?]Respond directly to this question in an argumentative essay that advances a specific claim and supports that claim by making SPECIFIC use of three of the assigned readings selected from Weeks 6, 7, 8, and 9. In selecting sources to use, follow these requirements:

* at least ONE must come from Buddhist, Hindu, Confucian, or Taoist traditions (meaning one of the assigned texts from one of these traditions)
* at least ONE must be an early Christian text (either the assigned New Testament scriptures or Augustine's Confessions)
* and ONE must be the Koran excerpts.

Please help me translate this essay question into simpler terms.
