The lack of distinction between the religious and the secular in Asia, and the consequent prominence of spirituality in Asian lives is then explored. This is followed by an exposition of the dominant philosophies in Asia—Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhist, Hinduism, and Shinto—and their influence on Asian psychology.enBook Chapter
