Possibility of preservation of ecology in Pratisamutipada(緣起說) and in the principal of increase of entropy.
We call the stream of time which religion is a imperfect science Scientific Reductionism in relation between religion and science.
If We recognize Scientific Reductionism, a collision between the two would be inevitable. Despite of situations, Groping has been progressing for the recovery of similarity or cognaty between religion and science.
"Science without Religion is a lame person, Religion without Science is a blind person" A. Einstein(1879-1955) said.
"We need Philosopy and Science for the recognition of nature. We need morals and religion for behavior. Therefore Science collides with Religion. There is no contradictions between the two." M. Planck(1858-1947) said.It stands that religion is incompatible with science in basic supposition of a view of the world and a view life. here, science is mainly natural science, while religion is often called christianity. It said that christianity act on the primary factor of science revolution as well as a cause of collision. On the other hand, We thought that Buddhism does not only collide science, but also contribute to development. But We have to pay attention to the fact that modern law of a quantum and thermodynamics which includes theory of complementarity, uncertainty, relativity, is understood in category of buddhism.nature scientist, philosopher and sociologist recognize this fact equally in the East and Western.
In fact, religion needs more profundity and science needs more minuteness. The arguement is solved in Harmony with the two.
From view of the truth more widely, Scientific view of religion and Religious view of science which does not destory moral and aesthetic value, are can be compatibled in high level.
The basic method of classic physics in observation of nature is that an object as a substance of observation is pure objectivism with the fact that it exists without subjectivity of observer. It excluded subjectivity completely. therefore The subject sense organ substitute for a camera, a thermometer, etc. Judging from this, the concept of time and space is absolute. However, It is found that the characteristic of the object which is observed, according to the subject of the observer, has changed in the appearance of the quantum theory formed in the end of 19th century and theory of relativity in the beginning of 20th century. Therefore, The dominant view is that absoluteness of time and space is not in existence, relativity of that is in existence.
In Buddhism, If any of them, among the mind, the subject of recognition, the objectiveness, the form, is not in existence, We will not understand correctly the fact. Therefore, It meditates things which is based on the middle way(中道) throughout. Therefore, The tendency of modern science approaches to subjectivism from pure objectivism. hereby, There is a fair chance that the two meets the one spot. Essentially, There is a good possibility that the two meets the middle centered Buddhism which excludes structure of opposite thinking of the dichotomy between subject and object.
Contrary to the relation with Christianity in the past, The more we find law of science newly in Buddhism, The more We become accord or supplement than colide. On the contrary, scientific excellent of Buddhism is proved.
The two theory of relativity of A.Einstein is a mere hypothesis that is called a new discovery which transcend the limits of classic phisics of Issac Newton recognized absoluteness of time and space.
that is, all the laws of science which includes theory of relativity are temporary truth and the theory which is including theory of relativity will be found..
The principal of increase of entropy is recognized as a absolute truth in modern science. The future of the universe and the human race that this principal suggests is very serious.
this principal predicts that the big and closed system which is called the universe, instability of that, will be increased and resulted in heat death, with the collapse of the inner system.
Energy, the temperature, pressure, volume, etc which holds important position in thermodynamics as a part of nature science formed in the ends of the 19th century,are prepare to methods or instruments to measure each of these and the substance can be seen or touched. however, entropy did not considered to us. because it can not be touched or seen as a meter with the same thermodynamics variable.
However Clausis said that an amount of energy of the universe is constant but entropy is increase. Now this saying is on everybody's lips as Shakespeare's works' 'Hamlet' and 'Romeo and Juliet'. There is no doubt that the man is became familiar with the principal of increase of entropy by scientist and social economist such as J.Rifkin, Boldin, 竹田, I.Prigogine etc, and came to succeed in approachg closer to the meaning. It can be possible in the decline of 70's and 80's after more than 130 years in the middle of 19th century which the principal of increase of entropy proposed at firt. J.Rifkin prospected 'entropy' the book in a way of social science, not nature science.
this book arouse interest in the people and concept of entropy became familiar to the man. The Buddha understood and explained as theory of cause and conditions (Pratisamutipada) which is law of connection about the states of the world that we are living and theory of human existence. it is not too much to say that this theory of cause and conditions is in important position in all the buddhist doctrines. because this is content and process of Enlightenment of The Buddha.
Research on theory of cause and conditions(Pratisamutipada) has been studying and developing deeply and widely and continuously. Now there is nothing to study it. We have to pay attention to the fact that the principal of increase of entropy which proposed 130 years ago, approach to theory of cause and conditions (Pratisamutipada) The Buddha said, 2,600 years ago.
As time pass, theory of cause and conditions(Pratisamutipada), specific of that changed but recognized as the absolute and universal truth.
Therefore, the principal of increase of entropy is worthy of comparative research in respect of the most clear law in nature science at present, in the future.
