感情: 感應의 인지

Abstract

I proposed the discourse of emotion made in the ancient china as the opposite of descartian epistemology through this paper. In ancient china, 'qing(情)' was used as the meaning of commonsense as we can see in the use of 'X之情' and according to Nakai, Masakazu(中井正一), emotion is resonant to the epistemological ability and combine subject and object. So the discourse of emotion has the qualification as a theory to overcome the problem made by descartian epistemology. In ancient china 'qing(情, emotion)' was the barometer of resonance. But at the same time it was the symptom that resonance got away from the right line. So there are opposite meanings in the word 'qing' used in ancient china. I investigated the discourse of emotion made in the ancient china with this viewpoint, the right response against excessive emotion. As you know, there is not epistemology in the ancient chinese thought that coincide with the west epistemology, especially descartian epistemology. So, some discourses made by east scholars were supposed to overcome this lack. these discourses had to escape the problem made by descartian epistemology. Lee Kwang Ho suggested practical epistemology. But I can say there is not epistemology in his practical epistemology. For It lacks the description of cognitive process. And ancient chinese morality depends on emotion that plays an important role in aesthetics of ancient china. So I think that practical epistemology suggested by Lee Kwang Ho can be replaced by aesthetic epistemology that is to say the discourse of 'qing'. The discourse of 'qing' as a cognition of resonance can defend the attack that it lacks epistemology by bringing the discovery of mirror neuron.
