| Abstract | In unison with the age-long Chinese organicism，Wang Yang-Ming started with an inward insight that he is at one in vital spirit with the cosmic reality as a whole. This is no mere individual achievement. Men，great or small，are equally capable of realizing this in the universal presence of mind，if untarnished with selfish desire. On the ground of such a cosmic fellowship-in-unity，Wang ventured to dissolve (A) existence and value，(B) the cognitive mind and the objective reason，(C) knowledge and action，(D) mind and nature，and (E) nature and heaven into correlative unities. This led to his theory of mind as a universal speculum wherein all things are discerned as they are without distortion，bearing closely upon his final theory of conscientious wisdom (Liang-Chih) and the way of its comprehensive realization. All along these enquiries, Wang Yang-Ming had been under the sway of Taoism，as well as Ch'anist Buddhism，but through the influence of Ch'eng Hao，his philosophical development eventually reached a restoration to the true spirit of Confucianism in respect of conscientious wisdom，mind，nature，and heavenly reason. |
