Abstract

The scientific ideas of Hawking’s quantum cosmology are full of the meaning of metaphysics which are hard to be accepted by orthodox scientific circle, but there are some similarities with Chinese Taoism. By a comparative study we believe that the idea of Unity of nature and spirit which was carried on and developed by Kant and Hegel will become the new dayspring of modern scientific thoughts, and the wisdom of Unity of heaven and human in Taoism could enlighten us think it again.

Keywords: Hawking’s quantum cosmology; Unity of heaven and human; Taoism
