As one of the most influential Confucian concepts, "sympathy" contains two meanings. The one is material (e.g. the interaction of yin and yang), and the other is moral (e.g. the activity of yiti). The contemporary new Confucian Tang Junyi's main concern is the latter. I tries in this article to discuss his thinking of moral sympathy through three section: in the first section it aims at the divination of Yi Jing (Book of Changes), and in the second the doctrine of human nature of Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi. The third section, which can be seen as the most import part of Tang's thinking of sympathy, is about his interpretation of "humaneness (ren)" of Confucius. Humaneness by Tang means not merely the energy of moral exercise, but rather includes three dimensions, namely "sympathy of self," "sympathy between the self and others" and "sympathy between the self and the dao." The above mentioned three sections, in which Tang introduces "my heart-mind (wuxin)" as the leading idea to develop the theory of "sympathy of heart-mind," bring us into a significant connection or relationship between "metaphysics," "philosophy of human nature" and "subject philosophy." |
