The Reconstruction Of Moral Metaphysics

The background of Kant's philosophy is to reconcile the contradiction between empiricism and rationalism,and to re-establish metaphysics that has entered a difficult position.For this reason,Kant chose practical reasoning,the moral approach to reconstruct metaphysics,explored between scientific norms and free will,and rediscovered the meaning and value of human existence,people can use moral subjects as their own legislation.To this end,Kant created the concept of "things themselves" to limit people's cognition ability,leave a place for faith,and presupposed the important premise of "free will" to indicate that one can vaguely understand but cannot fully grasp the ontology world.In the context of Chinese philosophy,Mou Zongsan deconstructed Kant's thought.He believes that there is a degree of agreement between Kant's moral philosophy and Confucianism.From the beginning of Confucianism,Confucianism has moved in a direction that we have the inner moral subject(the conscience of the heart),it has the meaning of creation.According to Mou Zongsan's hermeneutic point of view,the "things themselves" and "free will" issues belong to the theory of mind and nature in traditional Chinese philosophy.To make moral practice possible,we must first affirm that people's minds can directly show conscience.And not just a setting.Through the interpretation of Mou Zongsan,we can find that Kant and Confucianism are in ideological communication,but their understanding of human nature and moral subjectivity is very different.This is also the problem that Mou Zongsan needs to solve in interpreting Kant's philosophy.Mou Zongsan fully affirmed Kant's distinction between "phenomenon" and "things themselves",and believed that this distinction also provided a basis for Confucian moral metaphysics.The difference was that Mou Zongsan gave Kant the meaning of "things itself" Its value means.In addition,by explaining the concept of Confucian conscience,it makes up for the theoretical flaw of "free will" in Kant's philosophy,which is only a presupposition and not a presentation.Kant's moral philosophy is based on speculative approach to the freedom of the will from practical reason,and believes that the intellect is in the sense of the inhuman senses.Therefore,the freedom of the will can give a certain order to the moral law to show the autonomy of the will.However,Kant limited the moral emotion to the perceptual level,so that he could not draw the positive effect of the moral heart.Therefore,the self-discipline will not belong to the objective law and can only stay at the subject.Only the presupposition and no presentation means that It cannot be justified as moral metaphysics,but only as a moral theology.Mou Zongsan fully affirmed the conscience of the person,and transcended the limitations of Kant,and proposed that people have the ability of "intelligent intuition".He believed that this is the foundation of all traditional Chinese philosophical buildings.With "intelligent intuition",people can the exploration of the original conscience and the passage of time to reach the ontological world that cannot be reached in Kant's philosophy are considered to be the biggest differences under the different traditions of Chinese and Western philosophy.Because only with the affirmation of the ability of "intuitive intuition",combined with Kant's practical rationality,can further prove the moral metaphysics.Mou Zongsan used Kant as a bridge to communicate Chinese and Western philosophy,but he did not stay in the original form of Kant's philosophy,but made a creative promotion and interpretation of it,with the aim of re-excavating and developing with morality as the approach.The metaphysical meaning of traditional Chinese philosophy.
