SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
In Western culture, self is confinded to human beings; in Buddhist thinking, self extends to all animals; in this book, self includes all life forms - plants, microbes...down to the first life on Earth, and up to human societies and the entire humanity. Defined as a natural system that auto-perpetuates, this broad concept of self provides a holistic view that invokes such eternal questions as the ultimate meaning, or non-meaning, of life.
