Philosopher Wang Yangming Profile
Wang Yangming is one of the most influential
philosophers in the Confucian tradition. He is best known for his theory
of the unity of knowledge and action. A capable and principled administrator
and military official, he was exiled from 1507 to 1510 in Guizhou, Southwest
part of China for his protest against political corruption. It was during this
period of exile that he developed his contribution to what has become known as
Neo-Confucianism (“Learning of the Way”). With Neo-Confucianism in general,
Wang Yangming’s thought can be best understood as an attempt to propose
personal morality as the main way to social well-being. Wang’s legacy in Neo-Confucian tradition and
Confucian philosophy as a whole is his claim that the fundamental root of
social problems lies in the fact that one fails to gain a genuine understanding
of one’s self and its relation to the world, and thus fails to live up to what
one could be.
In order to memorialize this great
Neo-Confucian philosopher and inherit his idea at home and abroad, it is our
honor to coordinate the Confucian Academy to hold 2017 Philosopher Wang
Yangming Caricature & Ancient China in the Eyes of Artists International
Competition & Exhibition after successfully launching 2015 Confucius
Caricature & China in the Eyes of Artists International Competition. Most
welcome you to submit your caricatures of Philosopher Wang Yangming &
Ancient China with thanks.
