Wang Critical Thinking Perspective

Wang Chong, Zi Zhong Ren, kuaiji Shangyu people, is very combat thinkers in history, the history of philosophy in China occupies an important position.the times of Wang Chong, the internal contradictions of feudal society increasingly acute, the ruler of the Eastern Han Dynasty more ideologically need some mystical theory to consolidate the rule. Developed in the late Western Han Chen Wei superstition, by the advocates of the Eastern Han Guangwu, then developed into the official governing philosophy. In such historical conditions, Wang Chong hold high the "Critical False and illness" banner, has become the official philosophy of the time of Chenwei superstition was strong criticism of this attempt to establish a system of thought of his atheism.Today, the research of Wang Chong in the academic circles at home and abroad have made great achievements, especially for critical thought of Wang Chong also increasing, expanding the areas.thus promoting on study of Wang Chong and the whole history of Chinese philosophy in depth and active research.This paper argues that the academic orientation of the Wang some high critical thought. In response to this situation, the author Wang life,background and family background made his life to research, political corruption and Han Wang Chong potential ancestors Wang's critical character for the formation of critical thought and laid the ideological foundation. In this paper, Wang Chong started the path of critical thinking-to "life" on the basis of empirical critical approach to the Point. Critical thinking in the study, the paper Wang Chong-pin, "Heaven and Man","secular superstition" and "demon spirits" focus on the critical analysis of research, critical thinking has not come to Wang thoroughness. Such as:Dong Zhongshu's "Heaven and Man" in the criticism, Wang Chong based on "Heaven and Man", that is, Wang Chong acknowledged the good fortune there, but Wang Chong's "Heaven and Man" and others are different. Another example:Wang on the "demon spirits" of criticism,he denied that died as a ghost, but admitted the dead outside the "demon spirits" exist. "Demon spirits" What is the concept of Wang himself does not have a clear understanding, so the "demon spirits" in critical areas is inevitable when there is not thorough.Author's opinion, the academic community that "Wang is a great atheist" are flawed,Wang at best is a proponent of atheism.In addition, Wang criticizing the process has some shortcomings and deficiencies, such as weak political criticism, emphasis on critical thinking, criticism of the Confucian Mencius has not gone far enough.In this paper, Wang started the path to critical thinking, based on critical thinking to re-examine Wang obtained a relatively comprehensive evaluation of a correct understanding of the historical impact of Wang critical thinking and practical significance, it is the intention of writing this article.Wang wrote《On balance》because "all books untrue, many false words," he must "establish its authenticity, in fact virtual debate" so that the secular can "set", "Debate" in distinguish right from wrong,the actual situation, to go true.Wang Chong,《On balance》the purpose is to "Critical illness and false", "return to solid,." Wang committed in the critical process of self-contradictory and difficult to justify an error, but we can not deny that time and later generations Wang incentives, it is this "Critical illness and false," the critical spirit, the Chinese academic stream, all the way forward with its critical spirit Wang contributed to the cultural treasure house. Wang is not a prominent atheist, his system of thought there was a lot of the mysticism of the ideological content, while the subjective initiative down to a minimum, therefore, Wang Chong's comprehensive and thorough philosophical thinking.We must understand Wang Chong's thinking Correctly.
