 note = {The world is coming to be united into one by the development of communication, but on the other hand it is becoming more and more pluralistic. and human beings are haunted by the confusion of unrest and the fear of war. The most impending problem of mankind is how to find the way to peace in this situation of the world today .This essay is an attempt to search for a key to peace from the point of view of nature and anthropology in the East and the West. Nature in the East is well represented in Buddhist metaphysics and anthropology. Buddhist metaphysics avoids any form of substance, denying Brahma and Atman. Its ontology is not the knowledge of being but of becoming or changing. The Buddhist truth or Dharma means no other than immanent relations among pluralistic phenomena. Man attains his freedom and gets salvation by realizing this truth, denying any sort of substantialized self or being. By deep contemplation (theoria) man can be free from any cravings for any thing. But the western man is a being of will under the influence of the Hebrew mind in the desert whose dead nature necessitates for its livelihood and salvation the transcendental and supernatural being. Faith is nothing but a negative form of will. The modern city will be changed into a dead desert if man there loses his connection with that transcendence in any form. The crisis of the western life today consists in this situation. In the West there exist many faiths or ideologies conflicting with one another. But the eastern mind which avoids any sort of craving for substance can work as a medium or a place where many conflicting desires and ideologies can meet and dialogue with one another. The eastern mind must keep its contemplative and intuitive disposition which was also an aspect of the Greek mind, and has been almost lost in Europe since the Industrial Revolution. We can say that the Christian faith and the Greek contemplative mind are in decay, and empiricism and nihilism are dominant in the West. The eastern mind suggests the wisdom to control the blind will and desire by means of grace immanent in Nature whose broad door is wide open to everybody in the world. The western mind has been productive and progressive for the past five hundred years, but something quite new is necessary for humanity in the world today. Though the eastern mind based on Buddhist metaphysics wants in the sense of history and lacks the idea of creatio ex nihilo, yet it suggests the nonsubstantial and impersonal place which embraces any conflicting forms of substance and reality. Through the key word "Nature", we can compare the East with the West in order to synthesize them and make them complementary with each other. The wisdom of Nature or "logos synos" teaches human beings via media, a reasonable control of human passions and desires., Article, 信州大学教養部紀要. 第一部, 人文科学 6: 37-54(1972)},
