PART THREE : A HUMAN VIEW OF SPIRIT

　　Based on the above chapters dealing with a natural view of matter, the formation of varied types of matter within celestial bodies and the evolution from minerals and plants to advanced animals are natural transformations by matter, not initiated by any supernatural principles. Thus the argument in “Part Two” of this book is mainly an explanation of a new sort of natural science, for further study and elaboration by the contemporaries. The content of “Part Three” touches on supernatural phenomena and discusses the nature of divinity and mankind’s prospects. But this is an effort to expound cosmic truth from a scientific perspective; in no way does it try to enhance its persuasiveness through fantastical arguments. Thus it is entitled “A Human View of Spirit”. Its aim is to establish a new sort of spiritual science, to illumine the true Tao of the cosmos. Such a true Tao, which harmonizes mind and matter as oneness with dual functions, produces a myriad phenomena. These proceed from the synthesis of contraries in a relativistic situation. The basic meaning is to seek their harmony through persistent overcoming of disorder and return to righteousness.

　　基上「物質之自然觀」各章所論，宇宙間星球上各種物質之形成，由礦物而植物，由植物而達於高等動物之進化，皆屬物質自然之演變，實無何種超自然律加以促成。故本書第二部之主要理論係在說明一種新的自然科學，以便世人之研究，並望有以光大之。此部之內容，則有涉及超自然現象之問題，而論及「神」之性質，及人生之前途等，然此亦係一本科學立場為闡明宇宙真理而努力，非故作神怪之說以圖增強其論證之效果者可相提並論也，故名「精神之人生觀」。其目的則在建立一種新的精神科學，以明宇宙之真道。此種心物協調一體兩用之真道，係以相對之勢而演出矛盾統一之萬象，始終撥亂歸正，以求其「和」，是為基本意義。
