- Abstract
- In the traditional Chinese conception, 'things' (wu ) serve as the fundamental 'components' of order. Moreover, it is through things and their changes that humans can grasp moral and political norms based on the notion of resonance (ganying). This implies that human society and the world of things are necessarily interconnected. In opposition to this view of order Xiong Bolong (1617-1670) in his work Wuhe ji (Collected Passages on Being without Causes) critiqued the notion of resonance and arrived at a more 'disenchanted' approach to 'things' by incorporating the idea of contingency from Wang Chong's (27-c. 97) philosophical thought. However, Xiong's view of order full of contingency does not entirely diverge from the traditional mainstream Chinese view, because in his world of thought, a belief in the underlying necessity of a perfect order within the holistic arrangement of myriad things including humans remained.
