A Comparative Study Of Life’s Process According To Mechanism And Paticcasamupāda In Theraāda Buddhist Philosophy

Abstract

The name text is ìLifeís process according to mechanism and
Patฺiccasamuppāda in Theravāda Buddhist Philosophyî it is stressful comparative study similar ideas and different ideas. As last searcher can conclude such as:

The life according to mechanism. They thought that human evolve to come from high animals, high animals evolve to come from low animals and low animals evolve to come from first cell which composed matter and energy. And we can talk to brief that human evolve matter and energy. All behaviourís human occur and happen according to cause of matter of physical. Mechanists have believed that all things occur from some momentums, the present time is result of past time, and the future time is result of present time. It is to go always this form, in issue of action, lifeís development. It is to go this form. The meaning as all activity happens from momentum. It has not freedom or liberty. Those momentums, something is an environment, something is popularity, something is education, something is habit, parent, relatives and all friends etc. These are momentums of human. Therefore development of human must do according to law of this mechanic, but we must do to match with thing that we want such as: wanting to be robber, good man, and holy man etc. we can do.

The life according to Patฺiccasamuppāda in Theravāda Buddhist Philosophy believe that life is path of Nāma-rŭba or evolve from Nāma-rŭba (material and immaterial), but Nāma-rŭba rise by cause. The life does not rise to happen by accident, all things about human must have cause and condition. The lifeís process, activity, lifeís development, those things have or rise by cause and condition. Therefore, cause and conditions is most important main for making the  life  get  into  that  we want. So  development  of  human  according to       

Patฺiccasamuppāda in Theravāda Buddhist Philosophy must take charge with cause and conditions, to make condition for things that we wish. If we wish to be robber, we must make condition for robber. If we wish to be Holyman, politician, or Pra arahanta etc. must make condition for those things. However, those conditions have two main, the first is conditional inside and the second is conditional outside which Buddhist philosophy called that Paratoghosa (hearing or learning from others), Yonisomanasikara 
(analytical reflection), Kalayanāamitta (having good friend), Pāpamitta (to have evil friends) etc. but all these conditions do not rise by chance, they rise to be chain

We can observe the lifeís process two view, something is similarity, but something is difference such as: the cause and the conditions, Mechanist and Buddhist together believe. So development according to two view stress them, but mechanist could see only physical or outside, they cannot see inside mind or immaterial. Therefore, the lifeís development has some difference. Mechanists only develop condition that to be outside or material, but Buddhist philosophy develop condition that to be outside and inside.
