Abstract
In my essay “On the Problem of Truth, Goodness and Beauty in Chinese Philosophy,” I suggested that the conceptions of truth, goodness, and beauty rest on three propositions: the unity of Heaven and man, the unity of knowledge and action, and the unity of sentiment and scenery. Among these, the unity of Heaven and man is the most fundamental, and it is from this that the other two unities are derived. The unity of knowledge and action requires that people realize both the “heavenly way” and the “human way” and practice them in daily life, while the unity of sentiment and scenery requires that people express Heaven’s work in their thoughts and feelings.
