The Beauty Of Creation And Perfection

The relationship between nature and freedom is the basic problem of Mou zongsan's philosophy.Based on this,it is possible to define the essential relation between Mou zongsan's philosophy and Kant's,and to make a more accurate exploration of the realm of Mou zongsan beyond Kant.Moral metaphysics occupies the ontological position in both Kant's philosophy and Mou zongsan's,but it is in a dilemma,and it has a fundamental relationship with aesthetics.To some extent,aesthetics has become the transformation and implementation of the modernity of moral metaphysics.The aesthetic characteristics of Mou zongsan's philosophy is becoming the frontier research of Chinese philosophy and aesthetics.Kant's aesthetic judgment stops for the association of nature and freedom,but depending on perfect teaching of perfect good,Mou zongsan's aesthetic may overcome not only the dichotomy of nature and freedom,but also the dichotomy in the association,and finally realize the harmony.Kant's aesthetic lays down the ontological status of respective beauty,while Mou zongsan's aesthetic can completely overcome the division and realize the ultimate harmony.The main contents of the thesis are as follows:Introduction part first proposes Mou zongsan's aesthetic have extremely important position in both the aesthetics and philosophy field,then analyzes several kind of main and the basic problems in the research on his aesthetic,and find specific research paths and the key methods to solve the problem,finally put forward the creating perfect beauty as the central argument of the thesis.The first chapter analyzes Kant's aesthetic thought and Mou zongsan's criticism.The critique on Kant's aesthetic thought forms the foundation of Mou zongsan's aesthetic.Kant's aesthetic judgment solves contradiction between nature and freedom with relevance.But Mou zongsan argues that the solution of the Kant is not completely,that is to say it in essence is dimidiate.Therefore,he puts forward harmony of Chinese philosophy compared to Kant's association.The second chapter analyzes Mou zongsan's aesthetic thoughts and asks some questions,which are about the connotations and structures of division,association,and no phase rule.Different from Kant's principle of purposiveness,Mou zongsan puts forward no phase rule as the transcendental principle of aesthetic judgment.Kant's aesthetic is both directed and unoriented.It seems to some researchers that Mou zongsan's is too.Is Mou zongsan's aesthetic as same as Kant's?What is the distinction between Kant's aimless purposiveness and the unity of Mou zongsan?The third chapter is a comparative study on intellectual intuition to Kant,Schopenhauer,phenomenology,modern brain neuroscience,Li zehou,Yang zebo,Mou zongsan's Confucianism and so on,in the different ways,to highlight the perfect unity of Mou zongsan's intellectual intuition.The fourth chapter is the analysis of the intuition of Taoism.The Taoist base belongs to the nature humanity,no the dimension of moral transcendence,so it is attributed to incomplete separation.Lao zi's metaphysical theory is the association of division in this system,and the harmony of Zhuang zi is the unity to the incomplete dimension.Because of a lack of moral transcendence in the incomplete separation,Mou zongsan called it the state of the unity.The fifth chapter is the analysis of the intellectual intuition of Confucian.Through the comparison between the nature of existence and the rule of the structure,the nature of justice and of the temperament,it can be seen that Confucianism is not only different from the west,but also different from Taoism and Buddhism,which is completely separation.On this basis,compared with imperfect teaching of the Cheng yi and Zhu xi school,sudden enlightenment of the prominent of Song and Ming Confucian is the primary reason to realize the harmonious unity in completely separation,so it is called the actual form of the unity.The sixth chapter is about a macroscopic analysis to the formation process of moral metaphysics and perfect good from Kant to Mou zongsan.The beginning of the process is from Kant asking the question of perfect good,after Kant' dredge to the confrontation between freedom and nature in Critique of Judgment,and the end is perfect solving with intellectual intuition of Mou zongsan.The most crucial and core part of this process is perfect teaching,which is the theory of kung fu of creating and perfect beauty in chapter 7.In moral metaphysics of Confucian,the question solved by perfect teaching of the big school of Song and Ming Confucian,couldn't been solved by gradual teaching of the school of Cheng yi and Zhu xi,that is solved by perfect teaching of aesthetic.So perfect teaching of perfect good is aesthetic,but not ethical.The seventh chapter comparatively analyzes two kinds of aesthetic theory of kung fu.one is the aesthetic and gradual teaching from division to association,the other is the aesthetic and sudden enlightenment between division and harmony.Because respective beauty is association of respective truth and good in Kant's aesthetic,the division between respective and associated beauty is the ultimate.So the sudden enlightenment between respective and associated beauty is the ultimate harmony.Only on this level,aesthetic and perfect teaching completely overcomes division,and achieves creating and perfect beauty.It is concluded that the aesthetic nature of Confucian perfect teaching can be summed and affirmed by reviewing the successful process of moral metaphysics from Kant to Mou zongsan.As well as the theory of aesthetic kung fu of creation and perfection,as the aesthetic practical reason,occupies the ontological position in Mou zongsan's moral metaphysics.
