Through such a synthesis of these conflicting views, a new perspective of nature can be constructed which can hopefully lead us to a more harmonious interaction with our environment. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Prajñā Vihāra: Journal of Philosophy & Religion is the property of Assumption University, Graduate School of Philosophy & Religion and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
