Tradition of the Intellectual Intuition in Chinese Philosophy:On the Reference of the Yogācāra in Mou Zongsan's Metaphysics
The translation and understanding of intellectual intuition in Mou Zongsan's metaphysics has sparked many controversies.Many scholars claim that it is not a traditional notion of Chinese philosophy but appropriated from Kant.Through the Yogācāra's theory,this paper argues that this notion is the core of Chinese philosophy's metaphysics.More convincingly,the idea of yogi-pratyaksa indicates that Chinese philosophy has already approached the possibility of"zhi de zhi jue"(intellectual intuition)even before the introduction of Kantian philosophy.The reason why Mou focuses on the Heideggerian interpretation of Kantian philosophy is that the soteriology,based on the"zhi de zhi jue",inevitably views the whole Western philosophy whose core notion is understanding as the results of xiang(imagination,samjnā).
