Imitation Of Nature

This thesis analyses the philosophical intension and the inner logic of the theory"Way-making emulates what is spontaneously so"emphatically.The theory"Way-making emulates what is spontaneously so"is an order-theory which regards"harmony"as its final result.And this theory bases itself upon a profound understand of mankind limitation to provide a new model which is full of genuine reverence for the series of the order-theory. In the whole theory, among these terms"Way-making","empty","Self-deriving","Non-coerciveaction"and"Returning", there is a close mean relation and a close logic relation as same.The"Way-making"is a term not only about noumena but also about cosmology,"Empty"is its character. The"empty"doesn't mean absolute nothing, but the negation of any eternal substance. The"empty"of"Way-making"provides enough space for"Self-deriving". The"Self-deriving"means let every real individual grow in free.This term, on the one hand, points out the value of individual, that is to say, the real individual outstands and becomes the real power of the world order with its creative power;on the other hand, promises the freedom of every single creative power. The"Non-coercive action"is a guarantee of"Self-deriving"which means non-rash-action. It is an approval of individual value, it is a guarantee of the expression freedom of every single creative power too, and it points out the non-coercive character of the relation between every single individual and this world. The"Returning"is the reason of"Non-coercive action"."Returning"means ten thousands things in the world are interrelated and flow too, it is an abstract of the processly and interrelated world. When all things in the"returning", the uncoercivablity becomes the character of the relation between the individual and the world."Those who would do things ruin them; those who would control things lose them", the uncoercivablity is the powerful enoughly reason of the non-coercive.In this theory, the negation of any eternal substance and the approval of the uncoercivable relation between the individual and the world, explain the genuine and wide reverence. Lao-Tsu's theory"Way-making emulates what is spontaneously so"not only embodies a profound Chinese cultural spirit, but also gives this chaotic world a tranquillizer.
