Resumo: | Kant’s coining of «reflective judgment» in the third Critique by a conceptual clarification of the third higher cognitive faculty has long been criticized as redundant for his philosophical system and deemed a typical Kantian architectonic failure. Zhu Xi’s vital development of the doctrine «gewu» in his commentary on The Great Learning has been attacked for centuries for committing a hermeneutic fallacy. I argue that a comparative study shows that both conceptions steered a metaphysical transition towards «the supersensible» in each philosophy, leading to a similar construction of moral teleology. Zhu Xi’s «li» is comparable to Kant’s «purpose» as a moral teleological property. The Neo-Confucian li-qi dichotomy provides a counterpart of the Kantian double causality. Nevertheless, Neo-Confucian moral teleology does not rely on a Kantian-type rationalistic deduction concerning the idea of highest good (as final purpose) nor on the so-called intellectual intuition. Gewu looks outwards for the moral coherence between humans and things, while Kant ultimately rejects the natural world for the sake of moral certainty in terms of freedom and identifies what is unique within us. |

O desenvolvimento vital de Zhu Xi da doutrina “gewu” em seu comentário sobre The Great Learning foi atacado por séculos por cometer uma falácia hermenêutica. Argumento que um estudo comparativo mostra que ambas as concepções conduziram a uma transição metafísica em direção ao “suprassensível” em cada filosofia, levando a uma construção semelhante de teleologia moral. O “li” de Zhu Xi é comparável ao “propósito” de Kant como uma propriedade teleológica moral. A dicotomia li-qi neoconfuciana fornece uma contraparte da dupla causalidade kantiana. No entanto, a teleologia moral neoconfuciana não depende de uma dedução racionalista do tipo kantiano a respeito da ideia do bem maior (como finalidade final) nem da chamada intuição intelectual. Gewu procura no exterior a coerência moral entre os seres humanos e as coisas, enquanto Kant acaba rejeitando o mundo natural em nome da certeza moral em termos de liberdade e identificação do que há de único dentro de nós.Sergio Salles2021-06-03info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.telosjournals.com.br/ojs/index.php/jts/article/view/9Journal of Teleological Science; Vol. 1 No. 2 (2021); 125-159Journal of Teleological Science; v. 1 n. 2 (2021); 125-1592763-6577reponame:Journal of Teleological Scienceinstname:Publicação independenteinstacron:INDEPporhttps://www.telosjournals.com.br/ojs/index.php/jts/article/view/9/25Copyright (c) 2021 Journal of Teleological Sciencehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOuyang, Xiao2021-06-03T14:23:17Zoai:ojs2.www.telosjournals.com.br:article/9Revistahttps://www.telosjournals.com.br/ojs/index.php/jtsPRIhttps://www.telosjournals.com.br/ojs/index.php/jts/oaitelos@telosjournals.com2763-65772763-6577opendoar:2021-06-03T14:23:17Journal of Teleological Science - Publicação independentefalse |

Kant’s coining of «reflective judgment» in the third Critique by a conceptual clarification of the third higher cognitive faculty has long been criticized as redundant for his philosophical system and deemed a typical Kantian architectonic failure. Zhu Xi’s vital development of the doctrine «gewu» in his commentary on The Great Learning has been attacked for centuries for committing a hermeneutic fallacy. I argue that a comparative study shows that both conceptions steered a metaphysical transition towards «the supersensible» in each philosophy, leading to a similar construction of moral teleology. Zhu Xi’s «li» is comparable to Kant’s «purpose» as a moral teleological property. The Neo-Confucian li-qi dichotomy provides a counterpart of the Kantian double causality. Nevertheless, Neo-Confucian moral teleology does not rely on a Kantian-type rationalistic deduction concerning the idea of highest good (as final purpose) nor on the so-called intellectual intuition. Gewu looks outwards for the moral coherence between humans and things, while Kant ultimately rejects the natural world for the sake of moral certainty in terms of freedom and identifies what is unique within us. |
