The Philosophy of Human Nature and Mind from Meng Zi to Zhu Xi

The origin of philosophy of mind(or: heart) and nature in Meng Zi lies in his mode of mind and nature,completely showing your mind so that you know your nature and heaven. For Meng Zi, people do not need to know their mind or heart, but only show or appear completely in your spirit so that they can recognize human nature and the heaven. Zhang Zi first proposed one proposition: mind or heart controls nature and feeling, which adds human feeling to the area. Zhu Xi advanced the proposition by arguing that human nature is ontology and human feeling its appearance, and human mind or heart pro-ontology.
