ABSTRACT

Nowadays is the age of the science and the technology in their most advanced form. The bioscience is the result of their newest form and is expected to develop uninterruptedly. In this point, we should think of its various problems. These are for example, problems of reproduction of animals and human beings, of transplantation of internal organs, of euthanasia, and of artificial abortion.Together with the development of the bioscience, different cognitive viewpoints came to appear from the modern typical viewpoint in the natural science. Here, the modern typical viewpoint of the science means reductionism and mechanism. It is taken by contemporary scientists that reductionism and mechanism are insufficient to explain the phenomena of living things. Phenomena of living things are the emergent phenomena which are made in the process. In the process of nature, we see the reciprocal effects of things. These are not to explain through the materialistic reduction. Then, we must acknowledge that living things should be explained in the relation with the mental phenomena.
