Entering the 21st century, human civilization is faced with three serious challenges. The first is the conflict between science and religion. The development of science and technology has fundamentally changed the lifestyle of human beings, and thus has brought up a superstition of science in the entire human society. Such a superstition of science has greatly changed the structure and landscape of human culture, and shaken the foundation of moral and ethical values of life. Second, the development of science and technology, cultural exchange, population growth and increasing mobility have turned human societies all over the world into a global village, in which conflicts between different religions and ideologies are magnified to an inescapable degree. The impact of different worldviews and moralities on people’s attitude to life and on social culture causes serious psychological and mental problems, social problems and profound social conflicts. Thirdly, the imbalance in the development of science and technology highlights the uncertainty in the future of human civilization. On one hand, the development of artificial intelligence has blurred the boundaries between machines and life, while human beings are expanding into outer space. On the other hand, all sorts of pollution to the environment and the depletion of resources have seriously threatened the earth’s habitability for human being. The civilization on Earth has come to a critical fork point.
Everything in Nothing answers these big questions about individuals, society and civilization in a logical and dialectical way. Starting from the basic concept that life is characterized with perceptions, and using logical reasoning as the basic tool, it develops an all-encompassing philosophical framework, which builds not only the epistemological and metaphysical foundation for religion, faith and morality, but also the bridge between physics and metaphysics. Combining the Buddhist theory of consciousness-only with the Taoist doctrine of I Ching, and integrating concepts and researches from Christianity, Zen tradition, Confucianism, mathematics and physics, the author shows the existence of the Thing-in-itself from epistemological and metaphysical perspective, and thus reveals the secrets of the phased existence and evolution of life and the consciousness-only nature of the physical world. When applying the theoretical framework to modern cosmology, the author proposes radically different answers to some critical and important questions in the area. In addition, the book also investigates some social problems from the same philosophical position. With convincing fusion of philosophy, Buddhism, theology, I Ching, cosmology and sociology, Everything in Nothing not only helps create inspiration for religious and theological practitioners, but also provides a brand-new perspective for people pondering on fundamental questions of philosophy, physics and science in general.
