ABSTRACT
This chapter considers completely different approach to the question about the future of science and religion. The challenge of science and religion also has something to offer those who are less drawn to the speculative questions. Beyond the horizon of science one seems to discover some universal philosophical principles. Science provides reliable data about the world, and a reliable understanding of the world in turn represents the indispensable starting point for effective decision-making. Taoism is a beautiful religion of harmony, balance, and cooperation. For Taoist philosophers, whenever one part of society loses sight of its dependence on other parts and begins to dominate, the balance of the Tao is lost, and one should again seek the middle way. Taoism also offers a deep understanding of right action with the concept of wu wei or 'without action.'
