The Truth-Seeking Objective of Chinese Philosophy of MindDOI: 10.4236/ojpp.2023.132013, PP. 195-209 Keywords: Mind, The Meta-Question, Psychological Phenomenology, Mind-Body Problem, Ontology of Mind, Psychosemantics Abstract: Most scholars believe that western philosophy of mind is endowed with the truth-seeking goal in its investigation of the nature of the mind, whereas Chinese philosophy of mind aims at the value-seeking objective through its endeavors to the interpretation of the mind’s function to human being’s becoming saints. However, we insist that, besides the value-seeking tendency, the Chinese philosophy of mind also demonstrates its truth-seeking objective. This thesis reveals and reconstructs the focus questions, content and features of the truth-seeking Chinese philosophy of mind by means of looking into the soul concept, mind-body theory, psychological phenomenology and psychosemantics in Chinese philosophy.
