Bodhisattva: In Mahayana Buddhism, an enlightened person devoted to the enlightenment of others.
Brahman (Sanskrit): The One; ultimate reality; absolute being.
Buddhism: A religion founded in India by Gautama Buddha (circa 566–480 ), originally derived from Hinduism and teaching that suffering is the universal condition of human existence.
catharsis (Aristotle): The purging or purifying of emotion through art.
deduction: An instance of reasoning from one principle to another in accord with accepted rules of inference.Sometimes defined more narrowly as the inference from a general premise to a particular conclusion by means of a syllogism—for example, from “All men are mammals,” and “Socrates is a man,” to “Socrates is a mammal.”
deism: A variation of the Judeo-Christian tradition that was extremely popular in the science-minded eighteenth century. Deism holds that God must have existed to create the universe with all its laws (and thereby usually accepts some form of the cosmological argument), but it also holds that there is no justification for our belief that God has any special concern for people, any concern for justice, or any of those anthropomorphic attributes for which we worship him, pray to him, and believe in biblical stories about him.
determinism: The view that every event in the universe is dependent upon other events that are its causes. In this view, all human actions and decisions, even those we would normally describe as free and undetermined, are totally dependent on prior events that cause them. See also hard determinism; soft determinism.
dharma (Sanskrit): Moral laws, duties. These are typically understood in Hinduism as being associated with particular social roles.
dialectic: A philosophical method, used extensively by G. W. F. Hegel and Karl Marx, in which contradictions are played against one another to arrive at the truth. The origins of dialectic are to be found in ancient Greek philosophy.
