摘要

基於在佛學與科學對話中，學者對佛教教義的基本態度甚爲重要的事實，本文對不同類型的比較研究（如天文學與佛學，心理學與佛學等等）的研究立場進行了分析、分類與討論。本文的結論認爲，不同程度但非僵化地接受佛教教義，與相應的科學結論進行對話及整合，且不作價值或意識形態的比較或聲稱（如孰高孰低），將是甚爲有利於在學術界進行佛學與科學比較研究的立場。具體專業學科與佛學間的比較研究，相對於整體上的佛學與科學對話應是值得學者努力的主流方向。平等、謙虛、開放的態度是最有益於交叉學科研究的基本態度。

Based on the fact that the basic attitude towards Buddhist doctrine during the dialog between Buddhism and Science is quite essential, this essay analyzed the standpoints of different kinds of comparative research (such as between astronomy and Buddhism, psychology and Buddhism, etc.), and then made a finer-grained analysis and classification. It turns out that the most suitable standpoint of this kind of interdisciplinary research in the academic field would be accepting Buddhist doctrine in some degree and not rigidly, conducting dialog and integration with corresponding scientific results, and not carrying out any comparison in value or ideological announcement (such as which one is superior to the other one). The comparative research between relevant scientific areas and Buddhism in contrast to the dialog of Buddhism and science on the whole would be the mainstream which deserves pursuit by scholars. The basic attitude of being equal, modest and open-minded shall do the most good to this interdisciplinary field.
