"悟"是一种集道德情感、道德理性与道德行动总和效应下，实现个体道德境界提升的道德认知实践活动，是中国传统道德哲学的一种较为独特的运思方式。从字义上看，"悟"的内涵从身体的"醒觉"引申到精神性的"觉悟"。"悟"与"道"、"悟"与"体"的辨析表明，在儒家思想里，"道"为"悟"的目的，"体"与"悟"则体现了认知方式的共通性。王阳明"悟道"的亲历则揭示了"悟"作为中国传统道德哲学的运思逻辑，即以体会"成圣之道"为"悟"的目标，历经"疑"、"困"、"遇"、"通"、"证"，最终完成"悟道"，是为"悟"思想逻辑的完成。

"Enlightenment"(wu) is a moral cognitive practice that aims to elevate individuals' moral realms under a comprehensive effect of moral emotions, moral rationality and moral actions. It constitutes a unique thinking mode in traditional Chinese moral philosophy. Semantically, the Chinese word "wu" originally means physical "awakening", and then it extends to mean spiritual "enlightenment". By examining the relationship between "enlightenment", "Dao" and "body"(ti), we find out that "Dao" is the purpose of "enlightenment", while "body" and "enlightenment" manifest a common cognitive method in Confucianism. WANG Yang-ming's personal experience of the "enlightenment of Dao" reveals "enlightenment" as the thinking mode in traditional Chinese moral philosophy:taking the "Dao of becoming a sage" as its purpose, experiencing "doubt", "puzzlement", "encountering", "thoroughness" and "proving" step by step, and eventually "realizing the Dao".
