The Epistemological Perspective of Shao Jung`s Reflection on I-Ching
Author：Wing-Chung Kwan
Abstract /
The contents of this essay include: (A) Three Levels of Knowing: by the Eye, by the Heart, and by Reason; (B) The Horizons Known: Heavenly Principle, Cosmic Nature, Human Destiny; (C) From "the Cosmic exhaustive investigation of the principle", to "the total fulfillment of the Cosmic Nature", to "the reaching of one`s destiny". These were all embedded within Shao Jung`s Huang-chi ching-shih (The Grandest Ultimate Way of Ordering the World), Chapter 62, which further suggests that "experience", "understanding", "judgment", and "decision" constitute the main items of human cognitional structure.
