| Abstract |
For the study of Confucianism, the theory of the Body and Mind had always been the core theory. It is closely related to theory of Tao and material, theory of reason and ch’i, theory of reason and desire, theory of reason and force, theory of mind and nature, and theory of ko-wu-chih-chih. The theory of the mind dominating the body, literally seems to imply that the mind is dominating the body; the mind is the dominate and the body the dominated. However, the theory must also be understood in the context of the life-world, which provides a field for human beings to live in, and also in the context of politics and society. The theory should not confine itself to the mind and body of human beings only.
