In Confucian philosophy, the concept of the body extends beyond mere physiological organs and limbs. It encompasses an understanding of individual identity within the context of one’s life and history, integrating the “body” and “mind” into a unified expression. Building on this premise, this paper explores the relationship between technological products and the body, particularly in light of our constant interaction with smartphones. Can such technological products be regarded as mere “tools,” which Confucian thought might interpret as extensions of the “body”? Or would it be more appropriate to examine them through the lens of “bodily thinking”? Moreover, how does this “bodily thinking” interact with the body in the context of mobile phone? The author expands on the Analects’ perspective that “the gentleman is not a mere instrument”(君子不器) and draws on Mencius’ discussion of zhi (志, will) in the chapter Knowing Words and Cultivating Qi (知言養氣). These Confucian theoretical insights offer a potential framework for understanding and regulating bodily thinking. Based on this foundation, the author reflects on mobile phone as an extension of the body.
