ABSTRACT

The exchange of the ideas between Islam and East Asia is the task which can’t be put off much longer for the Islam thought research of East Asia. Despite long history and interchange of culture, the comparison of cultures between Islam and East Asia is not attempted. The independent viewpoint of Islam and East Asia culture is obtained today after long struggle with western powers. By this paper, we made an genetic attempt to similarities between Neo-Confucianism and Islam based on the previous study about the similarities between Neo-Confucianism. The first possibilities we pay attention at this approach is exchange of ancient times culture. The recent revaluation of Lacouperie's hypothesis about china that “china comes from west” shows we can find common straits between Islam and East Asia. The second possibilities we find is exchange of Islam and East Asia culture in Tang and Song dynasty when Neo-Confucianism arise. Especially we concentrate whether li(理)-concept in Neo-Confucianism is affected by Islam through Buddhis li(理)-concept in Hwaeom Sutra or not.
