Philosophical Writings
The discovery of symmetry patterns in modern science has also played an important role to arrive at the fundamental laws of nature, which reveal beauty, harmony and perfection in the universe. The dynamic nature and essential interrelation of the subatomic world of modern physics is in agreement, to a very great degree, with the theories of ancient Greek Philosophy (Logos) and Eastern mysticism. The unified theory and even the “Theory of Everything : once the preserve of the philosopher and theologian, now it has become the Holy Grail of the Scientist.”So 5. Conclusion.
In our final conclusion let us say that all the parallels establish a strange agreement in the meaning of what we call Logos, as a Divine Law of metaphysics, or God of the religious traditions, or as the unified world view of the modern science, and they are very much in agreement in their concept and theory. We have very clearly seen how the metaphysical concept of Logos as found in ancient Greek philosophy is very similar to the view held by the mystical oriented philosophies of the East as well as the modern sciences. Like the philosophers and sages, the scientists have accepted "to co-operate with nature and try to understand it, not in order to dominate but to be inspired and to be enlightened. "s! Thus in a detailed examination of Logos in Philosophy, Religion and Science we find two profound syntheses-one, the concept of Logos and its parallels, as well as seeming agreement, and the other, the human attitude: from domination to co-operation. In our final meaning we find Logos (God) as a Divine Law of the Universe which is Whole and Dynamic, its parts are all interconnected, interrelated and interdependent through Logos. Logos is universal, essential and eternal - a creative divine force acting as mediator between God, the created world and man.
