碩士 / 國立中央大學 / 哲學研究所 / 102 / Among contemporary Neo-Confucians, Tang Junyi (1909-1978) is unique in developing a systematic interpretation of Wang Fuzhi’s philosophy. This thesis aims to analyze Tang Junyi’s interpretation of Wang Fuzhi’s cosmology. In critically examining Tang Junyi’s interpretation, we contrast it to Wang Fuzhi’s original doctrine of Qi in A Commentary of Zhengmeng. This shows that in explicating and justifying the thesis of the identity of Qi (force) and Li (principle), Tang Junyi’s approach is different from that of Wang Fuzhi. Whereas Wang Fuzhi originally focuses on the notion of Qi, Tang Junyi emphasizes the importance of the concept of Li. As a result, Tang Junyi’s interpretation might suffer from undermining the status of Qi in Wang Fuzhi’s cosmology.
Structurally, this thesis consists of three parts:
First, it starts with an exposition of Tang Junyi’s understanding of Wang Fuzhi’s cosmology. Particularly, it shows how Tang Junyi illustrates the relationship between Li and Qi in Wang Fuzhi’s cosmology in terms of an interpretation of the thesis of the inseparability of Dao and material things.
Secondly, it gives an analysis of Wang Fuzhi’s doctrine of Qi in A Commentary of Zhengmeng. This aims to clarify the metaphysical character of Qi in Wang Fuzhi’s sense.
Finally, it compares Wang Fuzhi’s original position in A Commentary of Zhengmeng with Tang Junyi’s interpretation. It concludes that despite their stress on the unity between Li and Qi, they are different in understanding the nature of such unity. Whereas Wang Fuzhi commits to the primacy of Qi, Tang Junyi grants a priority to Li.
