Huai-nan tzu - Charles Le Blanc
philosophical synthesis in early Han thought : the idea of resonance (kan-ying) with a translation and analysis of chapter six = [Huai-nan tzu]
KORTE INHOUD
Huai-nan Tzu (139BC) was viewed, for its great diversity of subject-matter, ideas and style, by traditional Chinese scholars as a composite work of the Eclectic School. It is the authors contention, however, that one overriding concern pervades the work the attempt to define the essential conditions for a Taoist political utopianism. The present study emphasizes Chapter Six of Huai-nan Tzu in expounding the theory of kan-ying STIMULUS-RESPONSE; RESONANCE, which postulates that all things in the universe are interrelated and influence each other according to pre-set patterns. Only in the True Man, who is one with Tao and attuned to the cosmos, does kan-ying attain its ultimate realization, the Great Peace and the Great Merging. After all, concludes the author, it is in Huai-nan Tzu that we find the statement. The relation of the Sage to Tao is like the relation of the sunflower to the sun; although they cannot be together all the time, the fidelity of their tendency never wavers.
