The Reconstruction of Chinese Metaphysics

Abstract

Abstract: The immortality of metaphysics originates in its human-attributed nature. The call for the reconstruction of Chinese metaphysics in the contemporary context should be understood as an intrinsic necessity of the modernization of socialism, and it should be taken as a significant component for new Chinese cultural tradition. The constant agency behind the reconstruction of Chinese metaphysics lies in the critical spirits and the courage of innovation of contemporary thinkers. Three major issues in the construction of Chinese metaphysics are the epistemological criticism of metaphysics, the views on a prior reason (a prior form), and the rebuilding of the spiritual homeland centered around free and ideal existence of human beings.

Key words: anti-metaphysics, Chinese metaphysics, reconstruction, human nature
