Topics Eastern Philosophy Religions Chinese Cosmology ... Taoism more topics to be added... Chinese Philosophy Chinese philosophy lays emphasise either on the practical running of society and mores (Confucianism), or a scientific study and interpretation of nature in terms of the interaction and interchange of a few basic principles, such as yin and yang , the five elements (or wu ching , more properly translated as "five states of change"), and eight trigrams and sixty four hexagrams (as explained in the ancient book of divination known as the I Ching ). From the former comes the regulations for running society and human interaction; from the latter, an understanding of the subtle principles of nature and the human body (as illustrated in the various forms of Chinese medicine (acupuncture, etc) and " Taoist yoga "). So we could say that the emphasis has consistently been "horizontal" rather than "vertical". And this was probably the reason why Chinese civilisation has always been (until the scientific revolution in the West) so technologically advanced, producing such inventions as the magnetic compass, gunpowder, printing, etc. Home Topics Search Guestbook ... contact me content by M.Alan Kazlev

Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Chinese philosophy Chinese philosophy has a history of several thousand years. Its origins are often traced back to the Yi Jing (commonly spelled " I Ching "), an ancient compendium of divination , which introduced some of the most fundamental terms of Chinese philosophy. Its age can only be estimated, but it certainly draws from an oracular tradition that goes back to neolithic times. Early Shang thought was based upon a cyclic notion of time, corresponding to the seasons. This notion, which remained relevant throughout Chinese history, represents a fundamental distinction from western philosophy , in which the dominant view of time is a linear progression. During the Shang, fate could be manipulated by the great deity Shang Di ( ch pinyin ), most frequently translated as "Lord on High". Ancestor worship was also present, as was human and animal sacrifice. When the Shang were overthrown by the Zhou , a new political, religious and philosophical concept was introduced called the " mandate of heaven ". This mandate was said to be taken when rulers became unworthy of their position, and provided a shrewd justification for Zhou rule. During this period, archaeological evidence points to an increase in literacy and a partial shift away from the faith placed Shang Di, with ancestor worship becoming commonplace and a more worldly orientation coming to the fore.

Aldershot, England: Variorum, Ashgate Publishing, 1995. Pp. xvii + 278. Reviewed by Mary Tiles University of Hawaii Medicine, Philosophy and Religion in Ancient China: Researches and Reflections reprints three of Nathan Sivin's previously published essays, which appeared between 1978 and 1990. In addition it contains a revised version of one essay and a bibliography along with four new essays. The new essays are "Comparing Greek and Chinese Philosophy and Science" (chapter 1), "Emotional Counter-therapy" (chapter 2), "The Myth of the Naturalists" (chapter 4), and "Taoism and Science" (chapter 7). This stance leads Sivin to challenge assumptions underlying much of the work of earlier historians of Chinese science, including, of course, that of Joseph Needham. This is the thrust of many of the essays included in this volume. Although Sivin acknowledges the enormous value of Needham's work, he nonetheless takes issue with some of the generalizations to which it has led, and which are frequently re- P.309

99. Confucius But Confucius was no religious leader nor did he claim any http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~dee/CHPHIL/CONF.HTM

Confucius Analects . The Confucian method characterizes just about all Chinese learning down to the present day; its fundamental tenet is the unwavering belief in the perfectibility of human beings through learning. Chinese Glossary Jen Confucius had one overwhelming message: if we are to achieve a state of orderliness and peace, we need to return to traditional values of virtue. These values are based entirely on one concept: jen which is best translated as "humaneness," but can also mean "humanity," "benevolence," "goodness," or "virtue." This humaneness is a relatively strange concept to Western eyes, because it is not primarily a practicable virtue. Rather, the job of the "gentleman," , was to concentrate on the highest concepts of behavior even when this is impractical or foolish. Like his contemporaries, Confucius believed that the human order in some way reflected the divine order, or the patterns of heaven. More than anything, according to Confucius, the ancients understood the order and hierarchy of heaven and earth; as a result, Confucius established the Chinese past as an infallible model for the present. What is incumbent on individual people is to determine the right pattern to live and govern by; this can be achieved by studying the sage-kings and their mode of life and government and by following rituals scrupulously, for the pattern of heaven is most explicitly inscribed on the various rituals
