The doctrine of oneness of all things (English spelling)

Japanese: 万物一体論 - ばんぶついったいろん(英語表記)wàn wù yī tǐ lùn
The doctrine of oneness of all things (English spelling)
A theme in the history of Chinese thought. It is seen in Zhuangzi, Huiyuan, and others, but was particularly emphasized by Cheng Hao (Mingdao) of the Northern Song Dynasty. It attracted particular attention in intellectual circles after Wang Yangming advocated it as part of the philosophy of conscience during the Ming Dynasty. Its logical basis is that all things are composed of qi, and it calls for awakening to love for all things and realizing the true nature of all things. In terms of human society, it is a utopian idea that calls for each individual to be independent in character, extend love to others, and realize a society of great harmony.

Japanese:
中国思想史上の主題。荘子,慧遠などにもみられるが,北宋の程顥(ていこう)(明道)が特に強調した。思想界でひときわ注目されたのは明代に王陽明が良知心学の一環として主張して後のことである。万物ともに気によって構成されていることが論理的根拠とされ,万物への愛に覚醒し万物の本質が現実化することを求める。人間社会に即していえば,個々の人が人格的に自立して他者に愛を及ぼし,大同社会を実現することを求めるユートピア思想である。
