| Eternal Duplicity in Human Nature: The Evolutionary Interpretation on the wu-wei Concept |
| Eternal Duplicity in Human Nature: The Evolutionary Interpretation on the wu-wei Concept, Epoche and Philosophy(A Journal of Philosophical Thought in Korea) 18-1(2005), 41-68, in Korean abstract I mention strongly there seems to be dual human nature between internal effortless intention (wu-weidirected nature) and external actuality intention. This article analyses the manifolded stratification of concept of wu-wei. I focused upon the wu-wei concept of Huainanzi(淮南子) specially, which embraces the confucian character and the taoistic nature together. This syncretism which associated with the Huainanzi in particular by me, entails a duplicity in human nature between internal effortless intention (wu-wei directed nature) and external actuality intention. Furthermore, I tried to explain that my duplicity model of human nature is based on the naturalistic interpretation of evolutionary adaptationism. The structure of the taoistic wu-wei concept is itself an foundation of “Huang-Lao(黃老學) and has an implication of external actuality trait. I called it “socialization of mind”. My article emphasizes that the duplicity of human nature, derived from the taoistic wu-wei concept, could be born out by the evolutionary adaptationism, since the internal effortless mind and external actuality mind are the evolutionary psychological traits which were independently adapted.
