Nakazawa connects Buddhist philosophy with modern sciences such as
psychology, quantum theory, and mathematics, as well as linguistics
and the arts to present a perspective on understanding the mind in
a world built on interconnection and networks of relations. While
Lemma Science is a new and modern study of humans, its provenance
is deeply rooted in the Eastern thought tradition. The ancient
Greeks identified two modes of human intelligence: the logos and
lemma intellects. Etymologically, logos signifies to "arrange and
organize what has been gathered in front of one's self." To
practice logos-based thinking, one must rely on language. Thus,
humans organize and understand the objects in the universe
according to linguistic syntax. In contrast, lemma etymologically
signifies the intellectual capacity to "grasp the whole at once."
Instead of arranging objects along a time axis, as language does,
the lemma intellect perceives the world in an intuitive, non-linear
and non-causal manner, comprehending the whole in an instant. This
book embarks on a venture to establish a new science based upon the
lemma intellect. Using non-logos-based materials, rigorously
following lemma-based methods, and transgressing the boundaries of
academic fields, Nakazawa seeks to construct this new science as a
fluid, dynamic entity. This book will be of great interest to
researchers across the fields of Japanese studies, Buddhist
studies, psychology and linguistics.
