On Characteristics of Yangming Philosophy:on the Basis of Entity,Efforts and Entity-manifestation Relationship
The most obvious characteristic of the philosophy of the mind is its proposal that manifestations of the entity are the entity.This scholar argues that apart from Reason(Li)and Nature(Xing)in the position of entity,the original mind,which lies on the level of manifestation,should also be seen as the entity.The original mind,according to it,is not only the transcendental ground for the emergences of moral practices,but also the normative power manifests and acts in the real world.The original mind is conscience in Wang Yangming's sense.Conscience is the emotions(Qing)arising from Nature(Xing)that cannot stop being realized.This definition of conscience can apply to the four realized ends,the moral beliefs that haven't been realized but eager to be realized as well as the cautious feeling that supports their realizations.The cautious feeling persists in people's mind,manipulating,supervising and modulating people's internal ideas.The end of doing efforts is to direct conscious activities to this cautious feeling,to render it dominate the conscious activities.And in this light,the goal of becoming a sage can be achieved.
