Mou To Learn Thought

" The moral metaphysics " and "The idea from Morality to Policy " are the backbone of philosophy of Mou Zongsan, which shows his significant achievement through the examination of Chinese ancient culture from the contemporary academic perspective. The expounding and profound understanding of these two concepts may lead to absorption and transcendence of his philosophy. It's lucky, his idea on Yi is a key point (through-hole) to help us understand them.Based on Mou Zongsan's idea on Yi, this thesis found the key clues to understand his philosophy and be aware of the origin of his creativity through the way of searching and sorting out his main academic works. Combined the academic study of the history and the major philosophical studies, the thesis focuses on the core of his idea on Yi, using the issue of the form respectively to explain the origin of his idea on Yi, the process of change, relationship between his idea on Yi and his philosophy, and tries to have discussions on the theoretical level about his philosophy from the research of Yi.Through the longitudinal study of various periods of Mou's idea on Yi, it is obvious that his idea is based on two different levels. Through the research, We can found the historical basis of "The intellectual tradition" of "The tradition of the policy" in the level of gasification about his philosophy; what's more, we can found the basis (through the unity of virtue between Heaven and human , reaching the communion between transcendence and immanence ) of moral metaphysics and the substance (not only the entity is ontological being but at the same time activity is another choice which being and function are one with the renovation) of his moral metaphysics in the level of moral creative reality about his philosophy.After clarifying the relationship between his idea on Yi and his philosophy, the thesis further explore the meaning and contradiction of the moral metaphysics and The idea from Morality to Policy. Moral metaphysics is a product which he inherited from the idea of his teacher Xiong Shi-li and mixed Chinese and Western cultures. he grasped the significance of the "activity" of Chinese culture from(Wei-tianzhiming,wuhubuyi), and in the help of Kant' philosophy ,he made ontological proof for the "activity", which is his contribution. But at the same time, he wish in the way of "the conscience of self-Hom depression" to turn out intellectual subject for the opening of the knowledge is a wishful thinking, which only exists in theory, having fatal flaws.
