Do Yangming's Mind Theory and Phenomenology have anything in common? What is the specific embodiment?

A comparative study of Yangming's theory of mind and Husserl's phenomenology. Mencius put forward three concepts of conscience, conscience and virtue, which are closely related but have different meanings: virtue as "use" is the popularity of conscience as "body"; Conscience, on the other hand, is a reflexive intuition about conscience and its goodness, which is itself a kind of exertion of goodness. In other words, conscience and good knowledge and ability are the relationship between body and use, and conscience and good ability are the relationship between knowing and doing. The concept of "conscience" in Yangming's theory of mind is vague and has the meaning of conscience, virtue and conscience; In other words, it refers to the narrow sense of conscience, which is the opposite of conscience and kindness, and intuition is reflexivity. Accordingly, his "to conscience" has the following three development levels: developing conscience, which can be compared with Husserl's "essential intuition"; Looking for conscience can be compared with Husserl's "thing itself", that is, "pure consciousness"; Exerting good energy can be compared with Husserl's "intentional activity".

Indeed, in the context of today's world philosophy, Husserl's phenomenology and Wang Yangming's conscience theory are highly comparable, not only because of some realistic opportunities, but also because there is a certain compatibility between them. Husserl phenomenology is a thorough transcendental philosophy; Yangming's mind is undoubtedly a transcendental philosophy, because the starting point of his construction of his meaning world is not a transcendental intellectual rationality of western transcendental philosophy, but a transcendental inner consciousness like western transcendental philosophy, which is the moral conscience of Confucianism. Only in this way, Yangming's theory of mind is highly consistent with Husserl's phenomenology in its approach to philosophical thinking as a "method" of transcendental philosophy; The only difference lies in their "philosophy"

The reason why Yangming's theory of mind and Husserl's phenomenology adopt transcendental methods is that their starting point of ideological concern is the same, that is, a strong sense of crisis and criticism. This can be said to be a Kantian criticism, which is the basis for re-examining metaphysics. As we know, Husserl established phenomenology because of criticizing "the crisis of science" in the early days, so there was "pure phenomenology"; Later, it expanded to criticize the "crisis of human nature", so there was "phenomenology of life world". The same is true of Yangming's theory of mind, which is also based on the criticism of two crises: on the one hand, it is also a concern and criticism of some academic status quo, and its main object is the "fragmented" style of study represented by Zhu Xi; On the other hand, it was also worried about the human crisis at that time, so there was criticism of "breaking thieves". These two aspects are internally related, that is, the loss of a great tradition: Husserl believes that the loss of ancient Greek tradition makes people farther and farther away from the meaning of the whole world; Yang Ming, on the other hand, thinks that it is the loss of ancient "adult learning" and sage's "heart transmission", and this "heart" is "conscience", and the traditional loss is manifested as the cover of conscience.
