Survival And Human Achievements

The socalled ontology as a theory can be revealed in such propositions as followed: l)Something is something which there is; 2)Something is something itself; 3) Something is something which has its own property. If any proposition has a truth claim for meaning, the claim can only be satisfide by providing a way to prove, then the propositions above can be proved obviously. We can say that when we are looking at a mountain,using a chair,or thinking a thought,there must be the mountain,the chair and the thought. The mountain,the chair and the thought must be the mountain,the chair and the thought themselves, and the mountain,the chair and thought must have their own special properties. But the same testimony can also prove other set of propositions which do not correspound to the theory of ontology. The new set of propositions could be expressed as: 1)Something is something which must manifest in a "living field"or life-world.2)Something is something which is always connected with people's "living style".3)The property of something appears in the life which is constituted of relating and process. For example,the socalled property of chair is just some words if we are only living in listening,but on othe circumstances,the property of chair appears as a furniture because we are sitting on it. The latter three propositions reveal the theory of life which is our goal to be achieved in this paper.In fact,the thinking way to the theory of life has been oppenning gradully,which connected with the inspiring works of mordern thinkers. When Heidegger put forward the idea that Dasein is a living field disclosing itself, a new thinking style correspounded a new theory of life was implied implicitly and its tendency to accomplish become inevitable. What we will do in this paper is trying to outline this theory of life and answer some general questions from the prospective of this new thingking pattern. But first,we need to discuss the thouhts related some exellent philosophers who have provided the theory of life valuable resouces which give us more enlightments.Husserl's phenomenology emphasizes a transcentendal field of pure consciousness which is self-evident and menifests itself obviously. The menifestation of pure consciousness phenomenon is not a Being which is disclosed by other entity,but a manifestation of relation and process of acting. We do not grasp the acting as grasping an known object,but we conscious the acting in the form of involving a vivid acting experience. Something as object appears only in this acting consciouness structure. So,the idea of something being in itself is deconstructed.In Being and Time, Heidegger lanches an attack on the tradition ontology. The attack is based on the foundation of life-world prospective. His theory begins with the socalled Dasein which can be treated as a life-field or living situation. Dasein as a living situation or life-world manifests itself in a relating and process manner. In his theory,life-world defined by relation and process is raised on a strking theoretical level.Satre,like Heidegger,highlighting the idea of living situation in his philosophy, notices us the contingency of situation. That is ,there always reveals an contingency which can not be reduced by Cause-Effect in the manifestation of living situation. I think that Satre here points out a very important thought of life which is absolute given and is absolutely happenning and involving. For this happenning and imvolving life, the imploring on cause loses the ultimate meaning.In Levinas,we see at the first the important role of "other people"in western philosophical theory. Levinas in his theory implys that the ideal of life can be achieved only through the moral relationship with others. This is an very critical view that can be posed as the ultimate orientation of our thinking.Having been obsorbed these instructive elements of thoughts rooted in the pioneer's theory,we could give rise to following veiwpoints in reconstructing our theory of life: 1)Life is living experience which is manifesting itself absolutely. 2)Living experience is happenning with changing lively. 3) Life is a integration constituted of relation and process. 4) Living experence implys the ultimate goal of "acomplishing human nature".We have interpreted these foundermental postulations briefly in the introduction. The further understanding of them would be achieved through going into this paper entirelly.
