Charles Darwin Seorang Plagiat?

INILAH.COM, Jakarta - Tulisan Charles Darwin sangat mirip dengan filosofi masyarakat Tibet yang menganut agama Budha. Charles Darwin bisa jadi adalah seorang pengikut ajaran Budha, atau hanya sekedar plagiat?.

Professor Paul Ekman pakar psikologi yang mempelajari hubungan emosi manusia dan ekspresi mengatakan, pola kata yang digunakan Darwin sangat mirip dengan teks Budha Tibet.

Dia mengatakan Darwin sangat mirip dengan Dalai Lama. "Saat aku mengatakan tulisan Dalai Lama serupa dengan tulisan Darwin, Dalai Lama mengatakan, aku kini adalah pengikut Darwin," kata Prof Ekman.

Darwin merupakan orang yang merumuskan teori evolusi untuk menjelaskan keberagaman makhluk hidup. Dia juga yang menuliskan jalinan emosional antara manusia, dan adanya kesamaan antara emosi pada manusia dan binatang.

Prof Ekman pada pertemuan American Association for the Advancement of Science di Chicago mengatakan kata-kata yang digunakan Darwin sangat identik dengan ajaran Budha Tibet dalam menggambarkan perhatian dan moralitas. "Sungguh bukan suatu kebetulan jika pandangan Darwin serupa dengan pandangan Budha Tibet. Bagaimana kebetulaan itu bisa terjadi? Bisa saja timbul pertanyaan terjadi plagiatisme karena kata yang digunakan serupa. Tapi aku tidak menuduh Darwin plagiat," kata Prof Ekman.

Pandangan Budha Tibet menyebutkan "saat aku melihatmu menderita, juga membuatku menderita dan itu mendorongku untuk mengurangi penderitaanmu sehingga bisa mengurangi penderitaanku". Kata-kata ini serupa dengan yang digunakan oleh Darwin.

Prof Ekman mengatakan Darwin bisa saja menerima ajaran Budha Tibet melalui temannya Joseph Hooker yang pergi ke Tibet pada 1847. Sementara istri Darwin, Emma juga memiliki ketertarikan dengan ajaran Budha.[ito]

Science Editor,
London, UK -- Charles Darwin's moral philosophy may have been inspired by the writings of Buddhist monks, according to one of the world's leading experts on the evolution of emotions.

Research by Paul Ekman, a psychologist whose work has shown how the facial expressions that signal emotion are universal across all cultures, has identified striking similarities between Darwin's attitude to compassion and morality and that of Tibetan Buddhism.

Darwin, who was born 200 years ago last week, believed that compassion for other sentient beings was the highest moral virtue. This informed other aspects of his world view, such as his passionate opposition to slavery.

Dr Ekman, who recently edited a new version of Darwin's The Expression of the Emotion in Man and Animals, said that these views were in accord with those of Tibetan Buddhists. He had also found evidence that Darwin was aware of their philosophy.

"What I've become interested in in the last few years is Darwin's work on compassion and morality, which is even less known than his work on expression," Dr Ekman told the American Association for the Advancement of Science conference in Chicago. "And the amazing coincidence, if it is a coincidence, is that his views on compassion and morality are identical to the Tibetan Buddhist view.

"When I read to the Dalai Lama some of Darwin's passages, he said: 'I am now calling myself a Darwinian'.

"The Buddhist view, like Darwin, said that the seed of compassion is in mothering, global compassion: focus on others as mother. When I see you suffer it makes me suffer, and that motivates me to reduce your suffering so I can reduce my suffering. The Dalai Lama says compassionate acts help me more than the person I help. That's identical in Buddhism and in Darwin's explicit writings."

Darwin knew of Tibetan Buddhism through several routes, Dr Ekman said. His close friend Joseph Hooker travelled to Tibet in 1847, and corresponded regularly with Darwin; Darwin's wife, Emma, was also fascinated with Buddhism. She once described a grandson as the "grand lama" because he was so calm and solemn.

Dr Ekman said that he did not know whether Darwin derived his views from Buddhist influence, or whether the similarity was a coincidence. "I am certainly not saying Darwin was a Buddhist," he said. "But his view on the nature of compassion is identical in almost the exact words to the view of Tibetan Buddhism."

bisa jadi om DARWIN itu seorang buddhis,malahan bisa jadi adalah 'dalai lama' yang dulu lalu kemudian bertumimbal lahir menjadi seorang Charles Darwin tuk menemukan teori2 tersebut    makanya dikatakan lebih condong mirip pemahamamnye diBuddhis tibet    kan mungkin juga toh,karena Charles Darwin adalah SEORANG BESAR yang cukup berpengaruh terhadap teori tersebut yang kemudian emang ternyata paling mirip dengan beberapa teks2"buddhis"
