On Relationships between Dao, Things and Images——Thinking on the metaphysics of philosophy

 

Abstract: Qi means things themselves, while images imply the perception or understanding of things. Dao is the abstraction from images which exist between Dao and Qi. The existence and significant of images are usually neglected. The mind, which is independent from things, instantiates our basic subjective world and provides the conditions for our society, hence, it is very essential to our lives. Qi has its underspecificity, it can’t be recognized by our reason, and is out of the boundary of our mind. Philosophy is the most abstractive Daoism, it is not relative to Things themselves, and keeps a long distance with things themselves. Science is merely relative to images, namely, it put perceptions into our mind. We can’t ask ourselves “what is philosophy” as we can’t talk about things themselves. However, we can’t be beyond this question forever at all. This is the metaphysical nature of our human beings.
