Abstract
This contribution aims to comprehensively examine the phenomenon of resilience from the point of view of the Soka humanistic philosophy of action. This is a general line of interest that intertwines theoretical and practical aspects, and requires examination at different levels of discourse. The paper will be particularly focused on analyzing philosophical and sociological aspects connected to resilience. On the philosophical level, the discourse takes a broader reflective direction, intertwining with the themes of lifestyle, values, human dignity, civic commitment, and humanism. In this regard, contemporary Buddhist literature offers a vast range of examples of ethical-practical and speculative analysis, and reflections on resilience. On the sociological level, it will examine some key aspects related to Soka Gakkai’s activities, and the commitment of its members within the community and social sphere. The empowerment of the members contributes to the flowering of the community life of Soka Gakkai and of society as a whole; and, vice versa, the support of the community of practitioners and society allows and fosters the strengthening of the resilience capacities of individuals.File | Size | Format | |
