Content summary: Wang Shuren combines the Chinese modern philosophical thinking methods into image thinking by comparing the conceptual thinking of Eastern philosophy. Zhang Xianglong developed from the perspective of phenomenon and made a further analysis of this difference and the basic characteristics of elephant thinking. Based on this division, we will try to turn the image thinking on the mode discussion layer to the “sensory image” of the recognition layer by tracing the source of thinking behind the “elephant” and “yes”. In related discussions, “sensory communication” is a recognition talent between rationality and sensibility. The “image” created by sensibility transcends sensory experience while not moving towards concepts. Since Eastern traditional metaphysics develop under the framework of rationality and sensibility, Chinese modern philosophy, which uses “sensory communication into images” as the basis of cognitive theory, has overflowed the vision of Eastern traditional philosophy from the most basic perspective.

Author introduction: Cai Xiangyuan, male, born in 1975, from Quzhou, Zhejiang Province, professor and doctoral supervisor at Shandong Confucian Advanced Research Institute. The purpose of the research and development is to describe phenomenon, explanation, interpretation, and comparison of Chinese and Western philosophy.
The expression methods of Chinese and Western Philosophy are very different. Compared with reading Chinese and Western Philosophy texts, you will have a direct impression of this. As Mr. Chen pointed out, the departmental expression characteristics of Eastern philosophy are different from the various aspects of Eastern philosophy. Modern Chinese philosophy has a complete set of different thinking methods, which is a kind of “aesthetic, metaphorical, genre, and related thinking”①. Eastern Han scholars Hao Dawei and An Lezhe also noticed this feature, pointing out that “emblem” has a unique position in modern Chinese texts and cannot be simply translated into “image”, but refers to a kind of abstract expression of revision (figure)②. It is also very good to summarize the characteristics of China’s modern thinking method through abstraction, but it lacks to show its unique characteristics.
Teacher Wang Shuren, by comparing the conceptual thinking characteristics of Oriental Philosophy, called this abstract expression method of Chinese modern philosophical texts 平台网 as a symbolic thinking, further highlighting its unique characteristics. But he did not clearly divide thinking and abstract thinking, and there was no clear difference between object thinking. Teacher Zhang Xianglong developed from the perspective of phenomenon and made a further step in the difference between the two. This article will be based on their discussion, through retrospective and contrasting “The difference between elephant and “yes” is developed from the perspective of cognition, and the connotation of object thinking and its distinction between conceptual cognition and conceptual cognition are further improved.
1. The division between Wang Shuren and Zhang Xianglong about image thinking and conceptual cognition
According to the argument of teacher Wang Shuren, he is During the years of discussion on Chinese and Western comparisons, I deeply felt the difference in Chinese and Western philosophical thinking methods, and in the 1980s of the last century, he proposed the model of “elephant thinking”, and used it to engrave the characteristics of Chinese traditional philosophy’s thinking methods to distinguish them from the East.
He thought the most from the perspective of both Chinese and Western philosophical thinking. href=”https://twsweetmeet.com/”>Baobao.comThe difference in high concepts leads to the difference between two sets of thinking methods. The highest concept of Oriental Philosophy is manifested as physicality, objectivity, and a little girl looking at the mobile phone with a low head一下体网 dcard, without noticing her coming in. The framework of conceptualization of nature and subject-object bipartite, the corresponding thinking methods that come from this are definition, judgment, reasoning, synthesis or logical calculation, etc., which are composed of The basic characteristics of conceptual thinking. In contrast, the highest concepts of Chinese philosophy include Tao, atmosphere, extreme and even mind. Their characteristics are long and short, physical, non-objective, and non-presentimental. They can only use the “image” method to control their hands and leave their seats in the thinking framework of “harmony between man and nature” or “the same body between subject and object”, and immediately pass away. “The recording is still in progress; participates in the competition. Compared with conceptual thinking, the image thinking has the basic characteristics of non-conceptual thinking, non-physical, non-objective, and non-presentimental. From a positive perspective, the image thinking has the following characteristics: dynamic holistic, creativeInclusive network elementality or originality. The dynamic whole is to say that it is ultimately true in the framework of subject-object binary, but in the framework of subject-object binary. Because it wants to control The grasping is ultimately not the object, so this kind of grasping can only be dynamic ④.
After making the basic division, Wang Shuren further explored the problem of how the elephant thinking can be. He proposed that conceptual thinking relies on sensibility, while elephant thinking relies on enlightenment Nature. Enlightenment is a kind of intuition of understanding. This view is divided by the perspective of the sensory level. It is a kind of “mobile overall straight view”. By moving the whole straight view, we can grasp the dynamic whole image of the Tao. This view does not allow people to see an object, but rather, it allows people to enter a kind of “selfless” In the state, when one achieves the state of unity with the whole of movement, one will also see the thing of Tao. Since the final state is not divided between the subject and the object. Therefore, this view has no existing rules to follow, and naturally transcends wise understanding and mastery, so he also calls it “mysterious view”. In “Returning to the Original Thoughts”In one book, Wang Shuren emerged from the above vision of the sensual thinking and wrote a headline on Chinese classical texts such as Confucianism and even lyricism. Therefore, Wang Shuren has a rich description of the thoughts about the symbol, and has many aspects of the thoughts about the thoughts.
However, his related development still needs to be further clarified and deepened. First of all, there is no clear relationship between the image and the Tao, and many people confuse the thinking method with the thinking object. For example, he explained the “original image” from “nothing” of “being born in nothing” to express it in this way as “the source of originality”⑥, but the “source of birth” here should refer to Tao, not image. The second is the confusion between thinking methods and thinking activities. When Wang Shuren talks about the originality of the symbolic thinking, he focuses on thinking activities. However, when we use concepts to think, we can also be original, otherwise we cannot explain how Oriental philosophy can produce so many original thinking systems. Third, the planning world of abstract thinking is not clear. Although he discussed the relevant areas and proposed that image is a “original image” or “energy image” higher than the image of knowledge, he also believed that “energy image” is generated through thoughts based on rational abstraction, and thoughts are the basic characteristics of abstract thinking. Fourth, when analyzing how the image thinking can be more effective, it is lost in the metaphysical transformation or the secret transformation. He proposed that elephant thinking is an dynamic overall straightforward view, but he later explained the ability of this overall straightforward view through the relationship between “enlightenment”, “opening the sky” and “small universe” and “large universe”.
Teacher Zhang Xianglong, in the article “Conceptualization Thinking and Elephant Thinking” (12), followed Wang Shuren’s thoughts and made a step-by-step summary and division of the basic characteristics of object thinking. He has the distinction between conceptualization and image thinking. His basic thinking is not much different from that of Wang Shuren. He believes that conceptualization thinking has the characteristics of “generalization, static, high-level objectification, post-reflection and post-meaning”, while image thinking has the characteristics of “original, non-objective (efficient), complementary and natural, pure, potential holographic, time-based and original language” (13).
