Abstract

This essay explores whether ontology is internal to traditional Chinese culture from the perspective of the view from above. Ancient Chinese philosophy, poetry, and art abound with all kinds of descriptions of viewing from above. Such views from on high, as illustrated by famous works discussed in this essay, usually admit of no fixed focus; that is, there is no ontic being, concealed or disclosed, controlling the perceiving eyes. The gaze from above, which is either fluid or decentered, in some cases does not even focus on any real object. It merely reveals an abstract historical review or an attitudinal stance. As such, the fushi gaze, devoid of any concrete object of perception or any central point of reference, always points to the absence of ontology.

反对文艺复兴时期的观点:高涨的目光

本文从上述观点出发，探讨本体论是否为中国传统文化所固有。中国古代哲学、诗歌和艺术中充斥着各种各样的“俯视”描写。这种从高处看问题的观点，正如本文所讨论的著名作品所说明的那样，通常没有固定的焦点;也就是说，不存在任何隐藏或暴露的本体来控制感知的眼睛。从上方的目光，要么是流动的，要么是偏心的，在某些情况下，甚至没有聚焦在任何真实的物体上。它只是揭示了一种抽象的历史回顾或态度立场。因此，没有任何具体的感知对象或任何中心参照点的伏实凝视，总是指向本体论的缺失。
