On The Intellectual Intuition Theory Of Mou Tsung-san

In the first order, Mou Tsung-san philosophy is a profound system thatcomposes of metaphysics, logic, historical philosophy，political philosophy andmoral philosophy. In the second order, Mou Tsung-san philosophy is a system ofmoral metaphysics, which does not have the limits of system. And it is also theoriginal Confucianism that has communicated in the context of philosophy withDaoism, Buddhism and especially the Western philosophy. We must understand itboth in the first order and the second.We divide philosophically Mou’s philosophy into two stages that are empiricalrealism of logic and moral metaphysics. In the different stages, Mou’s theories ofintellectual intuition are different. In the first stage,“intellectual intuition” is acategory of epistemology although it has been accomplished logical and intuitionalconstructions, and in the second it is ontological.Only with Mou Tsung-san philosophy is not enough for the work ofcontinuation of communication between Chinese philosophy and Western philosophy,for example, professor Mou’s critical of Heidegger’s theory of intellectual intuitionis unfair. How to philosophically correct this unfair critical is one of the two mainproblems we have to handle in this article. The second problem is what is really thedefinitional domain of intellectual intuition? The answer of the first problem isdependent upon the answer of the second’s, and the later is dependent on the divisionof the approaches of metaphysics. In fact, we have found there are two approaches ofmetaphysics: approach of modality and Lvji(履迹). The subject of the modality ofmetaphysics is the Logical I and the subject of the metaphysics of Lvji is the Moral I.The category of intellectual intuition belongs to the metaphysics of Lvji inasmuch asit only belongs to the Moral I. Thus, we can finally solve the first problem.
