Abstract
Abstracthis dissertation centers on Wang Yang-ming’s The Later Chu Hsi: The Conclusion (chu tzu wan nien ting lun) to expand on three fundamental questions. The first one investigates the book’s problem consciousness. The second one concerns the validity of the related arguments. The third one pertains to the extended problems of this book.n addition, more extended questions which closely relate to the three fundamental questions need to be examined as well. The first one refers to the definition and the content of the similarities and dissimilarities respectively in “the similarities and dissimilarities between Chu and Lu” and “the similarities and dissimilarities between Chu and Wang.” The second question concerns the arguments proposed by the scholars involved in the discussions of “the similarities and dissimilarities between Chu and Lu.” The third question explores how the reconciliatory position and the irreconciliatory position affect “the similarities and dissimilarities between Chu and Lu” and “the similarities and dissimilarities between Chu and Wang” respectively, and the ways to clarify these controversies. My fourth concern then is to articulate “the similarities and dissimilarities between Chu and Lu” or “the similarities and dissimilarities between Chu and Wang” with more lucidity and precision.y dissertation aims to delve into these above-mentioned questions one by one. In Chapter II, I will inquire Wang’s evaluation on Chu, sort out his critique as well as their agreement, and highlight the tenor of The Later Chu Hsi. I will also probe the validity of Wang’s critique together with the influence of this book.cholars from polarized positions have put forth their views on the influence of his book. Chapter III will go into details on the debates focused on “the similarities and dissimilarities between Chu and Lu.” My investigation includes the scholars in Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, a concise assortment as well as careful reconsideration of their arguments.ollowing the assortments of Chapter III, I will put forth my own original conclusions and my proposal of solutions for these debates. In the forth chapter, I will evaluate again the thinking of Chu, Lu, and Wang based on my attempted assortment on the controversies over the relation between the problem of the chronicle and the discussion of similarities and dissimilarities in order to point out certain problematic arguments.he fact that no consensus has been reached in Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties accentuates the positional problem. I will elucidate my own theoretical position and argument in the fifth chapter, and argue in what context can one situates similarities and dissimilarities in the discussions of Chu, Lu and Wang. In this chapter, I propose the idea of “gong-fu-xin” to reconcile and elucidate the thinking of Chu, Lu and Wang.inally in chapter six I will summarize my dissertation, which aims throughout to carve out a more accurate and explicit scholarly research on The Later Chu Hsi: The Final Conclusion.
