As I am a Han, Tang or apart of any of them, I hold dear to my sub-species, the Chinese; aim and to grasp the becoming as great humans or a new species of justice; so to put, a more general term to categorise all. Many times, the witnessing of the Chinese people's transformation around me had left me deeply confounded about their choices and acts, yet I seek to find out more, why would they do so; though I doubt it would be easily answered. It seems to me that we may have already lost something we hold; what I believe to be a strong power, not of the ideology of fools but wise men. However, I too have slipped into this demise and still searching for the time to express a new philosophy for myself to pass onto another. During my research on philosophies, I came across many ideologies such as Mohism, Maoism, Legislism, Marxism, Nihilism and thousands more which all are but opinions and theories on how a human should behave. Although their ways may benefits mankind; there are just to many to read.
Coming back to the subject, to me a Chinese should do whatever it is to contribute to living beings; not by mixing or joining with them, but to be the caretakers, the father and mother caring for their children(brother and sister countries) likewise, watchers of the wide variety of sub-species to bring forth peace! I encourage all Chinese to take up a new perspective, to improve oneself as an omnipotent human not governed by anything superficial, to recreate philosophy supporting people and your identity, improve the old to be better than all else, become the most advance and knowledgeble of ' The Cause ' and not to neglect moralities, ethics and philosophy of our forefathers that is engraved in our blood as having the rights to take humans to a new level. We, as Chinese must not falter to racism, hatred and ignorance to ourselves and to others. So, I impose we become the world's nervous system to the cause and effect of the cosmos and let there be our reign in wisdom and philosophy that all may follow without peers, unlike SOME.
The Concept of Chinese Philosophy:
-Tao (the Way, or one's doctrine)
-De (virtue, power)
-Li (principle)
-Qi (vital energy or material force)
-The Taiji (Great Heavenly Axis) forms a unity, from which two antagonistic concepts, Yin and Yang originate. The word Yin originally referred to a hillside facing away from the sun. Philosophically, it stands the gloomy, passive, female concept, whereas Yang (the hillside facing the sun) stands for the bright, active, male concept. Both concepts, though antagonistic, are also complementary and the present domination of one implies the future rise of the other, as moon's phases (this is one of the meanings of the well-known Yin-Yang figures).
Among the great controversies of Chinese philosophies are:
-The relation between matter and principle
-The method of discovering truth
-Human nature
Among the commonalties of Chinese philosophies are:
-Epistemological optimism. The belief that the big questions can be answered even if the answers are not currently known.
-The tendency not to view man as separate from nature.
-The tendency not to invoke a unified and personified supernatural power. Questions about the nature and existence of God which have profoundly influenced Western philosophy have not been important in Chinese philosophies.
-The belief that the purpose of philosophy is primarily to serve as an ethical and practical guide.
-The political focus: most scholars of the Hundred Schools were trying to convince the ruler to behave in the way they defended.
We should learn more about our Chinese ideologist,philosophers and other nation's ideology while doing our best to combine [logician thinking, and the ought of living, both internal and external] whereby, can greatly enhance our capabilities and strength to overcome many obstacles, while we shouldn't neglect a greater purpose than stand by this few to be subjects of...
Note: Do check out about Friedrich Nietzsche.
