中國思想中身體思維之基要性

Body Thinking Basic, Cosmic, Deathless

中國身體思維優於西方抽象分析之非身體性思維。其緣由有三：第一，兩種思維皆具有抽象而普遍性之思維能力。第二，抽象分析之思維乃基於具象之身體思維，除去後者，則前者消逝。第三，中國思想中身體思維具有西方抽象思維所缺乏的五項特性：時間性思維、命名與正名、陰陽之或然性、文哲史合一、及身死而不朽。

This essay reminds us of body thinking as the cosmic origin and deathless base of disembodied thinking. One, universal disembodied thinking is paralleled by ubiquitous body thinking; two, body thinking is basic to disembodied thinking that is a part of body thinking; three, body thinking in China elucidates matters bodily, e.g., time, naming, contingency, beauty-sense-history unity, and bodily death, all that Western disembodied thinking lacks and cannot handle.
