How did Wang Tingxiang discuss the relationship between "real knowledge" and practice?

 

The discussion of "true knowledge" is the important content of the concept of knowledge and action of Neo-Confucianism in the Song and Ming Dynasties.Neo-Confucianists all think that their knowledge is true knowledge, and true knowledge refers to the knowledge that can be implemented, and the knowledge that cannot be done is not true knowledge.In the view of the thinkers of Qi School, Wang Shouren's unity of knowing and doing actually cancels the status of doing, so we must criticize this.

 

Wang Tingxiang did not agree with Wang Shouren's unity of knowledge and action, but also did not agree with Cheng Zhu's knowledge first. In his opinion, the defect of both is that they "do not work hard in practice and experience human beings". Practice is the basic category and evaluation standard of Wang Tingxiang's view of knowledge and action, according to which he believes that both Wang's learning and Zhu's learning are "harmful" learning divorced from practice. As a matter of fact, since the song dynasty, scholars have pursued "true knowledge", but they have gone astray because of their deviation from practice. Therefore, there is only "what is said is done, what is done is known, the so-called true knowledge". People's cognitive activities include the whole process of knowing, guiding and testing knowledge, and "true knowledge" can only be produced in practice.

 

Therefore, wang tingxiang not only emphasized the combination of knowledge and action in theory, but also corrected many previous errors through his own practice and careful investigation of actual facts, thus making his theory of "true knowledge" more powerful.

 

How to understand Sun Yat-sen's "difficult to know, easy to do"?

 

It was put forward by Sun Yat-sen to meet the needs of the revolutionary struggle at that time, contrary to the traditional proposition that "knowing is easier than doing", which has lasted for thousands of years. Sun Yat-sen believed that the traditional idea of "knowing is easier than doing", on the one hand, hindered the progress and change of Chinese society. Sun Yat-sen never know from the hard to derive; As long as you know, you can't have action if you don't know. On the other hand, Sun Yat-sen pointed out that "it is easier to say than to do" was the revolutionary's ideological enemy. Because "knowing the change" makes people despise the role of revolutionary theory; And "difficult", so that people can not stick to the struggle in the face of difficulties. The reason why the Chinese revolution has failed so many times is because the revolutionaries have been ideologically poisoned by the saying that it is easier to say than to do.

 

Sun Yat-sen put forward the new doctrine that knowledge is difficult to do. Human beings can do many things long ago, but they do not know the reason, can not give a theoretical explanation. So the thing is easy, the way is difficult. Knowledge is groped out step by step in long - term practice. In fact, the process of "seeking knowledge by doing" is full of hardships, but it is easy for posterity to accept the knowledge of the predecessors in form. Combined with the whole process of knowledge to see its difficulty, and this will inevitably draw the conclusion that it is difficult to know and easy to do.

 

Although it is difficult to prove in theory that what Sun Yat-sen knows is difficult to do is easy to do, he has played a good guiding role for Chinese people to examine the problem of knowing and doing from a new Angle.
