Discussion On Mozi's View Of Heaven And Man

The relationship between heaven and man is a basic issue in Chinese philosophy.Looking back on the sages and philosophers,we can find that there are many discussions about the relationship between heaven and man in the past.Mozi has various propositions such as "Shangxian,Shangtong,Jianai,Feigong,Jieyong,Jiezang,Tianzhi,Minggui,Feile,Feming",among which only "Tianzhi,Minggui,Feiming" Philosophy,the rest are realistic political ideas.The above three are grouped together under the theory of "relationship between heaven and man",which is essentially a strategic arrangement for the expansion of the mind and man's thinking.The "Tianzhi,Minggui,Feiming" Mozi view of heaven and man reveals a whole new dimension of Mozi philosophy.In Mozi's study of heaven and man,he symbolically understood "sky" and endowed "heaven" with will;clearly understood "ghost" and endowed "ghost" with the power to punish evil and promote good;narrowly understood "life" ",understand "Fate" in a narrow sense,and limit "Fate" to the meaning of "Destiny" and " Already determined destiny ",in order to put forward his "Feiming theory ".Mozi's theory of the relationship between heaven and man is embodied in the philosophy of "Tianzhi,Minggui,Feiming".Through a comparative analysis of the three,the tension and unity of Mozi's relationship between heaven and man can be found.Mozi complied with the extension of "Tianzhi" but feared the disappearance of "Renzhi",so he proposed "Feiming" as a balance to resist and break through "Destiny".The essence of Mozi's view of heaven and man is a tool for his Shinto teaching;it is a weapon for carrying out both "Jianai" and "Feigong".It is also an affirmation of human order and human spiritual value.In a word,Mozi's "Feiming " is a requirement of "Tianzhi"."Tianzhi,Guigui" advocates focusing on the sky,and "Feiming" advocates on the person.The combination of the two aspects readjusts the relationship between heaven and man.Mozi excludes all necessities and accidents except for the heavenly ghosts,and puts forward the idea of how to match the heavens,and establishes a unique view system of heaven and man.Mozi's view of heaven and man is the connection between the "ambitions" of heaven and man,which makes people live in reality and face transcendence,and pursue the ideal of benefiting the world in continuous practice.This is the significance of Mozi's view of the concept of heaven and man in the development of ancient Chinese philosophy.
