Study On Hu Hong’s View Of Reason And Desire From The Perspective Of Nature Ontology

The argument of heavenly principle and human desire runs through the development history of Confucianism,and the ontology,gongfu and mind theory in the Song and Ming dynasties are inseparable from the discussion of heavenly principle and human desire.Most of the neo-confucianists in Song and Ming dynasties discussed the heavenly principle and human desire from the angle of keeping heavenly principle and destroying human desire,which established the traditional view of reason and desire,while Hu Hong,as the advocator of the theory of nature ontology,put forward the view of reason and desire which is different from that of keeping heavenly principle and destroying human desire.He promoted the theory of nature from three aspects of nature,love and evil,and good and evil,and put forward the theory of reason and desire that nature ontology,heavenly principle and human desire are the same as nature,the same as mind and the same as things under the vision of nature ontology.Hu Hong’s view of reason and desire is the existence of the unity of opposites.This unique view of reason and desire is not only the harmony of the traditional nature and human desire,but also the true portrayal of the ultimate concern of the unity of nature and man,which is of great practical significance.This paper is divided into four parts to study Hu Hong’s view of reason and desire: The first chapter is Hu Hong’s theory of nature and the relationship between mind and nature.It first discusses the three meanings of Hu Hong’s theory of nature,and details Hu Hong’s philosophy of nature from the ontological sense of "nature",the sense of "love and evil" in the sense of natural instinct and the sense of "good and evil" in the sense of moral value judgment.Secondly,it analyzes the relationship between body and mind,mind and nature constructed by Hu Hong.The theory of nature ontology and the theory of mind laid the fundamental tone for the establishment of Hu Hong’s theory of reason and desire.The second chapter studies Hu Hong’s theory of heavenly principle and human desire.Firstly,on the basis of the theory of nature ontology and the theory of mind and nature,Hu Hong’s theory of heavenly principle and human desire is simultaneously established in the body of nature,mind and matter.Secondly,through the difference between public and private,the comparison between the gentleman and the mean man,the different use and different feelings of nature,rationality and human desire are further reflected,emphasizing that the choice of human desire should conform to the value standard of "zhong".The third chapter studies Hu Hong’s self-cultivation time.Hu Hong’s view of reason and desire,which is both opposite and unified,constructs the self-cultivation time of self-cultivation inside and outside,and can return to the moral noumenon of perfection through the cultivation way of "first observing and then cultivating".The fourth chapter studies the historical value and practical significance of Hu Hong’s view of reason and desire.Hu Hong’s view of reason and desire is the existence of "unity of opposites",which contains rich dialectic color.It has positive significance for adjusting the opposition of nature,Heavenly principle and human desire,affirming human growth and promoting social development and progress,which is worthy of praise and affirmation.
