摘要:

At first glance, to juxtapose the ascetical recommendations of Patanjali and Yoga next to the counsels of Confucius and the classical Chinese tradition seems improbable and even contradictory; indeed, each thrustcontrastsvery sharply with the other. India's Samkhya‐Yoga tradition attests to aninwardthrust, to a radical probing of what some have even described as the “frontiers of inner‐space”. From the very dawn of history, Yogis have pioneered aninteriorexploration of the psyche and human spirit;ultimatelythese Yogis proclaim the hidden value of each person, a dimension they call “purusa”. The Sanskrit wordpurusahas been variously translated as “consciousness”, “spirit”, “light”, or simply as the authentic and genuine identity of the human being. Quite naturally then, the quest for realizing thispurusa‐ identity became the preoccupation and all‐consuming goal of the Yogis — even at the cost of an almost total disregard for the social order including the abandonment of such traditional values as our commonly accepted virtues of family, society, and

摘要:

This essay will focus on the Buddhist metaphysics of experience which is generally glossed over due to the excessive concern for the ultimate goal in Buddhism,nirv?na, and in consequence of which the emphasis has been on the practice of; meditative discipline in aspiration for that goal. Yet neither nirvana nor meditative discipline can be understood properly without examining the full dimension of our ordinary experience. Such an examination should reveal to us the unique ways in which the Buddhist refers to the bounded and unbounded conditions of existence. All this is novel insofar as metaphysics goes and indeed it would have to be a unique form of metaphysics in order to accommodate the dual aspect of existence. The key to this metaphysics lodges in the Buddhist concept of experiential process,1technically known asprat?tyasamutpādawhich is variously translated as relational origination, interrelational origination or dependent origination. It refers to the Buddhist concept of causality but, as we shall see, it is a unique concept with more than the usual Western connotation

摘要:

Professor David Nivison's presidential address, “Two Roots Or One?”, delivered before the Fifty‐fourth Annual Pacific Meeting of the American Philosophical Association is a very penetrating paper on Mencius' moral philosophy. He has also made some very interesting contrasts between Mencius' view and those of Wang Yang‐ming and Tai Chen. What I would like to point out here is that Wang's position is much more similar to Mencius' than Nivison thought. In sum, I would like to point out that, contrary to what Nivison seems to suggest, Wang is not a strict internalist. A strict internalist is one who maintains that the recognition of obligation is motivationenoughto act acco

摘要:

The scepticism of the academicians: the illusions of perception, the frailty of induction, the indecency of deduction, the conundrums of negation, is not the concern of this paper. It is thinkers for whom the human situation is a predicament demanding some kind of resolution who interest me. These are thinkers who see knowledge, philosophy if you will, within the horizon of predicament and resolution, who see knowledge exhausting itself well before any resolution of the human predicament is reached, who hold that knowing is not the model by which to understand how humans relate to the way things really are.
