A Study Of The "GanTong" Thought In Tang Chun-i's Realm Theory

Most modern neo-confucianists liked saying realm, Tang Chun-i was more prominent. The characteristic of his realm theory lies in the "Gan Tong"(感通)thought. "GanTong" links from "Gan Er Sui Tong"(感而遂通)in Yizhuan, it has colorful philosophical implications, including the unification of knowledge and felling and will and action, etc. Tang Cun-i explained "GanTong" by "Guan"(观)and "Jue"(觉)in order to prove the reasons of realm to set up and expand, which differed from the Mirror-type Philosophy of traditional Western Epistemology Philosophy. Under the "GanTong" thought horizon, Tang Chun-i not only had connected to the Confucian tradition of the Mind, but also had given new understanding in Realm-theory, his discussion of the relationship between Mind and Matter in Wang Yangming's thought nothing out coincide, and to "GanTong " of the mind through evidence into the realm, also different from FenYunlan who built Life-realm by "JueJie"(觉解).Tang found it was important to recognize moral sense and wisdom, which showed the deep recognition of Confucian moral ideal. Tang Chun-i tried to rebuild the realm theory of Confucianism, which embodied the concept of change in philosophy. His Mind-realm Theory is an open system, but also has its own difficulties. Trying to explain other meaning about "GanTong" and learning from Mr. Feng Qi's points on the realm can make up the lack of Tang Chun-i's GanTong thought, then find the realm of the possible path of reconstruction.
