Abstract
In modern society, human ability is evaluated as the excellence of “reason.” In this case, the excellence of “reason” is secured by “rationality.” Here, “rationality” depends on the extent to which a person’s “needs” are fulfilled. Hence, people cling to epistemological knowledge in order to achieve this goal. However, this “epistemological knowledge” hides “ontological meaning” within it. Person’s “existence” precedes humankind’s “cognition.” Therefore, the “ontological meaning” of humankind precedes “epistemological knowledge.” Consequently, people can maintain their humanity by understanding their “ontological meaning.” This study explored the meaning of “thinking” by focusing on “knowing” and “mind” within the scope of Confucianism. Confucianism’s “thinking (思)” pursues “knowledge” that seeks this “ontological meaning” based on “morality” while simultaneously pursuing “epistemological knowledge.” This is precisely the ethical meaning of “thinking (思),” and it is why Confucian thought is still relevant in modern society.
