This essay delves into the intricate relationship between humanity and artificial intelligence systems, considering several cultural narratives that portray AI systems as god-like entities that have the potential to respond to humans' deepest needs and, at the same time, to destroy us and human civilization. Intelligent machines can evoke a reverence akin to responses that are usually reserved for spiritual beings that are deemed capable of offering salvation. This essay draws parallels between ordinary human longings for salvation and the notion of techno-salvation, purportedly to be achieved through the use of machines. In narratives depicting futural techno-salvation, a theme of separation or distance often appears in the form of a gap (for example, between our present state and the possibility of our complete happiness) that needs to be bridged and can be bridged only with the help of a supernatural mediator or savior. From a Zen perspective, recognizing the illusory nature of futural wants (which project fulfillment into an imagined future) discloses the illusory nature of individual personhood itself. The self, often assumed to be a fixed and independent entity, is instead understood as a transient, interdependent process arising from one moment to the next. This insight—central to Zen practice—encourages a ceasing to project salvation onto external agents or powers, including artificial intelligence systems and other technological mediators. Instead, it catalyzes a transformative journey inward, wherein spiritual awakening arises, not through the attainment of a desired, future state but through a direct realization of the present moment.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":45722,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF RELIGIOUS ETHICS","volume":"54 3","pages":"337-352"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149007507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pluriversality affirms diverse ways of knowing/being but also wrestles with tensions around epistemic incommensurability, normative ambiguity, and the risk of relativism. Drawing on Taha's <i>Trusteeship Paradigm</i> (<i>al-Iʾtimāniyya</i>), this intervention argues that his ethical metaphysics, particularly his formulation of <i>supported reason</i> (<i>al-ʿaql al-muʾayyad</i>), grounds pluriversality in a relational, dialogical, and morally anchored framework. It does so more robustly than comparable Islamic epistemic projects, including those of Syed Muhammad Naqib al-Attas and Seyyed Hossein Nasr. Taha critiques secular tolerance as hierarchical and advances covenantal engagement and reciprocatory ethics as principles for navigating difference. His emphasis on ethical obligation, ontological responsibility, and plural rationalities reframes civilizational diversity as a covenant of mutual moral regard. This essay proposes a decolonial Islamic option: a covenantal pluriverse sustained through reciprocal moral responsibility across epistemic and ontological difference.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":45722,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF RELIGIOUS ETHICS","volume":"54 3","pages":"214-244"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149007455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is acknowledged that religion is often left out of emergency decision making within our healthcare institutions. This essay explores the possibility that human–AI integration during clinical decision making can enhance healthcare professionals' ethical interactions and interventions in emergency medical settings. By introducing “Faith-Informed Reflection Machines” (FIRM) within decision support systems, I propose a novel approach to incorporating religious and ethical considerations into patient care. Traditional clinical judgment involves engaging classical virtues that help practitioners maintain moral equilibrium under intense pressure. Since medical emergencies often present patients who are cognitively impaired, religious affiliations and cultural considerations can be overlooked, potentially compromising patient autonomy. Our research demonstrates how human–AI integration provides faith-informed ethical reasoning <i>in situ</i>, thereby shaping both the process of decision making and the personal formation of the professional. By serving as an ethical adjunct to human decision making, these technologies can: (1) enhance prudential reasoning, (2) ensure more equitable healthcare delivery, and (3) facilitate nuanced discernment in uncertain clinical scenarios. Rather than replace human judgment, human–AI integration creates <i>in situ</i> a more comprehensive horizon of care for the medical professional who is prompted to consider the potential impact of a patient's faith context within biomedical triage.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":45722,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF RELIGIOUS ETHICS","volume":"54 3","pages":"275-293"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149007486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Daoist Humility: How Ancient Chinese Wisdom and Modern Psychology are Telling Us to Be Natural by Going Against the Flow 道家谦恭：中国古代智慧与现代心理学如何告诉我们逆水行水自然

From denoting a lowly social status—to becoming one of the highest Christian virtues—to falling under the critique of the liberators of the Enlightenment—to experiencing an upsurge of philosophical and psychological interest in recent years, the value of acknowledging one's least valued traits remains hard to define and defend. Recent definitions of humility as accurate intra- and interpersonal awareness have successfully severed the connection between humility and harmful self-deprecation; however, in the process, they have sidestepped the question of whether intentional self-lowering can, for some persons and purposes, be beneficial. Self-lowering as self-beneficial is a common theme in ancient Chinese thought. The <i>Daodejing</i>, especially, provides an insightful approach to this practice. When effort, ambition, and desire for social approval are taken too far, they give rise to destructive fixations and thereby become counterproductive. One way to disrupt such fixations is to <i>embrace</i> conditions and personal qualities that we and others perceive to be socially unacceptable and even humiliating. Rather than showing subservience to existing power structures, Daoist humility involves voluntarily doing menial tasks and exposing parts of ourselves that we view as shameful so as, ironically, to loosen the hold of our obsessions, increase our equanimity, and, by extension, reduce social conflict and oppression. I support and expand on this approach via recent scholarship from feminist and antiracist philosophers as well as psychological studies suggesting that cognitive control is limited, and embracing the very compulsions that we usually try to avoid can weaken their power.</p>","PeriodicalId":45722,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF RELIGIOUS ETHICS","volume":"54 2","pages":"180-208"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2026-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jore.70022","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148075156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
