- Title
Philosophy as Elevation of Spheres of Living: Understanding Z hang Shiying's 'The Myriad Things as One Body'.
- Authors
Hu, Zixin
- Abstract
Z hang Shiying 張世英 has been widely acclaimed as a master ( dashi 大師) of philosophy in mainland China. His new claim of 'the myriad things as one body' ( wanwuyiti 萬物一體) remains greatly influential in philosophy and aesthetics. It cannot be categorized under Marxism, Western philosophy, or traditional Chinese philosophy, because it stands on its own right. As a creative synthesizing of the three traditions, Zhang's claim answers some important and immediate problems that China is facing. It is a pity that this claim seems unknown to the West. This article tries to introduce two crucial parts of the claim: its ontology and its theory of 'spheres of living' ( rensheng jingjie 人生境界).
