Description
Summary:This essay examines the concept of zhijue in Zhu Xi through hun and po and argues that it is a complex psychophysical process that involves evaluative appreciations and practical realizations of proper conducts that are contextually appropriate to ever-changing circumstances and efficacious in orchestrating productive relations. The author contends that zhijue is not a passive perception of a predetermined reality, but a participatory co-determination of the world through cultivated skills of appreciation and realization.
