Thirdly it will look at the way in which thehistory of religious awareness both undergirds this history ofphilosophy, and manifests a parallel dynamic. In this light it will bepossible finally to analyze how the relation between religions andcultures can be a key to an harmonious progress of peoples at a globallevel and in South East Asia
