Cross-cultural Talks of Dao in the Cultivating of Critical and Creative Thinking

This paper aims to go into the Dao of critical and creative thinking(CCT)through a comparison and contrast of a number of scholars’remarks.Cultural differences lead to varying understanding of thinking patterns,entailing the distinct displaying of critio-creative thoughts.This can be revealed in the terms of intellectual standards by the Western scholars;on the other hand,it can be mirrored in the Chinese terms of Dao,De,wu(无),you(有),xin(心),xing(性),qi(气),and zhen(真).Dao of myriads of generating lives with each other,a harmonious disagreement.Intellectual standards,defining the basics and fundamental of fresh views,contribute to the coming of new ideas.Yijing,Book of Changes,and Dao De Ching,are two great books in the ancient Chinese philosophy,both of which handle creating and generating powers.We can see the reverse thinking and the weak over the strong in Dao De Ching,the creating and producing of being Dao in Yi thoughts,as well as yin-yang approach in these two.They are the driving force of the becoming of all things.The focus of Dao,a transforming process,is hidden in the field of critical and creative field in the Chinese unity of nature and humans.Focus-field theory can effectively and efficiently interpret the CCT.The Dao of CCT is wu(无),beyond words;whose you(有),being,just is a habit,a lifelong learning.The heart of it is supu(素朴),a just-do-it job,and the operating is the flow of qi,yin-yang going.The zhen(真)of it is of freedom,free thinking.

Reasons in the Sino-West Philosophies and Critical and Creative Thinking Under the Cartesian Coordinate System

This paper provides a comparison and contrast of the rationality in the West and China.It is undergoing with the support of the Cartesian coordinate system.About 30 such figures illustrate the reason and causality of the philosophical concepts in question.The horizontal axis translates the independent variable,the cause;and the vertical elements interpret the effect.Such dynamic variable study supports the understanding of the core values in the Western and Chinese philosophy.On the other hand,there is a similar probing of the critical and creative thinking in the philosophy.Reflective thinking in varying fields with more perspective entails rational views.
