| Summary: | The present study aims at analysing the relationship and
establishing the similarities between ancient Eastern myths, literature,
and today’s leading scientific views such as quantum physics. In ancient
times, the mythic worldview was the only one being widely accepted, a
dominancy that lasted up into, roughly put, the mid-nineteenth century,
when most sciences as known today started to flourish and overtook the
place of mythology, invalidating it. Nowadays, however, ancient myths
and modern sciences have begun getting closer to each other and, at a deep
insight, one may discover that they reveal the same truth. Thus, the paper
shall discuss and compare ancient Buddhist texts with leading quantum
theories and literary works by Béla Hamvas and Sándor Weöres that facilitate
the comprehension of the essence. |
