Qi monism - Kiichigenron

Japanese: 気一元論 - きいちげんろん
Qi monism - Kiichigenron

…It rejected the Neo-Confucian dualism of Li and Qi, arguing that Li is merely a law, not a substance, and that what fills the space between heaven and earth is the unified Qi, and that all things are generated by its movement. This theory of principles is called Qi monism. It distinguishes between the Way of Heaven (the natural world), Heaven (the ruling entity of the world), and Humanity (human society), and asserts that the development of the Way of Heaven can be recognized through the laws of the movement of Qi, that the will of Heaven is unknowable and should be accepted without question, and that the laws of Humanity should not be explained by the tendencies of the movement of natural Qi, but should be understood as Jingi (morality) unique to humans. …
