"What distinquuishes science from Buddhism most in its application of reason is its highly developed use of profoundly comp0lex mathematical reasoning. Buddhism, like all other classical Indian philosophies, has historically remained very concrete in its use of logic, whereby reasoning is never divorced from a particular context. In contrast, the mathematical reasoning of science allows a tremendous level of abstraction, so that the validity or invalidity of an argument can be determined purely on the basis of the correctness of an equation. Thus in one sense the generalization achievable through mathematics is at a much higher level than is possible in traditional forms of logic. Given the astonunding success of mathematics, it is no wonder some people believe that the laws of mathematics are absolute and that mathematics is the true language of reality, intrinsic to nature herself."
