Abstract

The main subject of 'the controversy between science and metaphysics' was to look for a new social morality in modern China. Zhang Jun Mai, the representative one of the doctrinal faction of metaphysics, was likely to reconstruct the teachings of Wang Yang ming for a new value. In Zhang's thought, human's mind makes a value of human life and matter. This mode of thinking is on a par with Wang' pattern of thinking. Ting Wen Jiang and Wu Zhi Hui, two typical persons of the faction of scientism, were eager to construct a new social morality in the method of science. Their empirical epistemology is similar to Chu-tz' thinking. in Chu-tz' confucianism, a social morality is in the universe, and so human being can find it deductively in universe. In Wu and Ting's thought, a social morality must be found inductively in the scientific methods, but it is yet to be found. The followers of historical materialism looked for a new social value in the principals of historical development. They believed the value came from the facts and the proletariat' value was justified by the law of history, that is to say, the principals of facts justify the value. In this method, they could make the proletariat' value to a universal value. As well, Chu-tz thought that the value was in the fact and the confucian value was justified by the law of universe. In this method, he could make the confucian value into a universal value.
