The Natural Evolution of Tao and Chi”, Philosophy of Medicine(The Journal of the Korean association for philosophy of medicine) Nr.4(2007), 49-68, in Korean


This is trial research to explore natural historical foundation of Tao and Chi beyond mataphysical Approach. First of all I explain idea and modes of Chi is very closed to the geopolitical environment and the geological conditions which were born. The concept of Tao has much more strong mataphysical image with regard to concept of Chi. And I emphasize even the image of Tao reflect the aspect when Chi is in best movement as well. Finally I will show that Tao and Chi are not given by Supreme in apriorial meaning, but they are in themselves the active principles as well as the empirical movements which are natural products at the same time. I call the characters of Tao and Chi the natural evolutional thinking in eastasian philosophical meaning.

Key words: Tao, Chi, Nature, Evolution
