Abstract
|
|
|
Purposes: This study is to examine the causes of limitations of modern western science and philosophy through Ayurvedic thought, and to seek the path of holism for the development of national healing projects.
Methods: Therefore, it was inferred that the background of modern Western civilization and the reality of the national healing project would share the flow. In order to examine this, the difference between the East and West’s ‘recognition of the body and the mind’ and the ‘perspective on the origin of existence’ was examined, and the characteristics of the Ayurvedic five-element novel were examined.
Results: Through that process, the “mind and body dualism” in the West and the absence of the “empty element(空?unya)” in Western four-element novels were pointed out as the cause of the limitations. In the sense that the ’empty element’ is an invisible world and an immaterial world, it was concluded that the absence of justice was a limitation of Western civilization and a problem of the reality of the national healing project.
Conclusions: I hope that this study will lead to continuous research on Ayurvedic ideology and research in the field of natural healing, thus contributing to the development of national healing projects and leading to health, well-being, and self-healing of the people.
