Abstract
In his synthesis Chattopadhyaya did not so much emphasize the contradictions between the religions as neutralize them. Max Weber asserted that in an Asian tradition one understands oneself as a vessel of God that receives everything into itself, while in a Western tradition one sees oneself as a tool, as an acting instrument of God. This contradiction is missing from the synthesis. (Brumlik)
