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. …

…朱子学の理気二元論を否定して,理は実体でなく法則にすぎないとし,天地の間を満たしているものは一元の気であり,その運動によって万物が生成されるとした。この原理論を気一元論という。天道(自然界)と天(世界の支配的存在)と人道(人間社会)を区分して,天道の展開は気の運動法則を通じて認識可能,天の意思は不可知でひたすら受容すべきもの,人道の法則は自然的な気の運動傾向によって説明すべきでなく,人間固有の仁義(道徳)としてとらえよと主張する。…
