Abstract

The article presents the author's views on Chinese philosopher Wang Yangming's theory of the unity of knowledge. The author mentions Yangming's statement that those who do not take moral action do not really have moral knowledge. The author says that Yangming also claims that those whose actions are morally wrong still have moral knowledge. The author compares Yangming's moral theory with the theory of other philosophers such as Zhu Xi.
