In the "Journal of Humanities" 10th Issue of 2024, Wang Ge discusses how "reason" has been a cornerstone of Western philosophical tradition since ancient Greece. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the spirit of reason laid the groundwork for cross-cultural philosophical exchanges between China and the West. In the modern era, "reason" has been redefined within the context of Chinese philosophy. Wang Guowei confined "reason" strictly to an epistemological framework, striving to separate fact from value. Liang Shuming, on the other hand, highlighted the divergence between Eastern and Western philosophies, advocating for an Eastern conception of "reason" that differs from the Western "intellect." Feng Youlan, in developing his new rationalism, viewed "reason" as an approach to life that includes both intellectual and moral dimensions. This new understanding of "reason" reflects the emergence of novel philosophical terminology in modern Chinese philosophy under the influence of Western thought, and it marks the establishment of a new epistemological framework for modern Chinese philosophical discourse.
