Transmutation of Modern Chinese Cosmology and Its Contemporary Destiny
If the traditional Chinese cosmology is a cosmology that starts from the body,the modern cosmology is a cosmology that starts from the mind.Under the invincible impact of the scientific trend of thought,China's cosmology has undergone a fundamental and comprehensive change.This transformation is manifested in the following ways:the transfor-mation from contextualized space to abstract space;the shift from timing-time to linear time;the transition from variable movement to reactive movement;the transformation from the unity between heaven(nature)and man to the thing that is free.However,with the strong rise of contemporary philosophical body phenomenology and the in-depth reflection on scien-tism,the rationality of a Chinese-style cosmology has been demonstrated again.The establishment of a more sound cosmolo-gy must not only consciously return to one's own traditions,but also return to the baptism of modernization,a return to the negation of negation of history,and a return to engage in creative transformation.
