On the Philosophical Practice and Its Place: Focusing on the Concept of "Wei ( (sic) )" in Zhouyi Theory of Han and Wei Dynasties

Abstract

In the philosophy of the traditional period, space was considered to be the place of creation, the place of becoming, and the place occupied by humans and things. Space has been studied from the perspective of existence and becoming. In the current philosophical world that emphasizes the real existence of the human world and the social participation of philosophy, in other words, from the perspective of philosophical practice, how can space be redefined? This article starts from these issues. This article maintains this awareness of the problem. Through the conceptual analysis of "place" and "the place of yao" in Zhouyi theory of the Han and Wei dynasties, it first examines the transformation from space to place, from place to relationship, and from relationship to placeness of cognition and practice. Based on this, it is confirmed that the concept of the place of philosophical practice exist in East Asian philosophy. Secondly, through the analysis of the relationship between place and people, the concept of place is identical, relational and practical implications. Finally, it is proposed that the place of philosophical practice has the significance of ethical awareness, reflection and practice. Through this study, it is suggested that the discovery of the place of philosophical practice can become the main driving force for the cultivation of ethical consciousness and civic consciousness required by environmental changes in the new era.
