| Kant's philosophy-aesthetics is a proper bridge by which we can compare Chinese philosophy with Western philosophy.Kant's philosophy-aesthetics specialize in the subjectivity of mind of the human race. Kant point out that the capabilities of our mind build up two diffrent realms: one is the Namre which structured by human's sensibility and understanding and ruled by necessity; the other is the Freedom which enlightened by practical reason and proved by moral law of the human race. These two different worlds, through aesthetic judgment, gain their correlation, but not really become a unity for Kant do not realize that mind and thing-in-itself can not be divided into two segments.The major subject of Chinese philosophy is the world of mind-xing ofthe human race. Three important philosophical school of China------Confucianism. Buddhism and Taoism------have a common character, that is,in order to win a free metaphysical world of mind-xing, they all want to break the limitation of individual temperament and the contradiction between subject and object. Then the paradox of necessity and freedom in Kant's system has a perfect solution, because Chinese philosophiers don't view subject and object as two things.We may utilize the method of logical analysis which grasped by Kant to explain Chinese mind-xing philosophy, while use the method of experimental practice which mastered by Chinese philosophiers to distil Kant's philosophy. By this way, we can prompt the communication and combination of Chinese philosophy and Werstern philosophy.
