On Zhang Shiying's Philosophical-Ethical Viewpoint

Zhang Shiying's philosophical-ethical viewpoint that Yiti (All things on Earth form an organic unity) and Minbao Wuyu examines various philosophical viewpoints in Western and Chinese history of philosophy and their development tendency, and takes philosophy as a scholar seeking for the mergence of the human beings and the outside world. Zhang's philosophical-ethical viewpoint may be looked on as a new philosophy which treats both the mergence of man and nature and the separation of the subjective from the objective as two types of relationships between man and the world and which possesses the function of synthesizing them. According to the idea that truth, good and beauty should be united on the basis of Wanwu Yiti, it emphasizes that moral consciousness must be grounded on the ontological basis of Wanwu Yiti; it encourages philosophers to live with their philosophical beliefs; it proposes that the philosophy of owl be replaced with the philosophy of hope. The writer thinks that it is a philosophical-ethical point of view that synthesizes the beneficial fruits in Western and Chinese history of philosophy, and makes a creative response to the challenge of the era.
