Abstract:

Zhu Qianzhi developed a philosophical thought of his own in modern Chinese philosophy, that is, emotionalism. He took irrational emotion as noumenon of our universe and life, and regarded intuition in harmony with emotion as an essential philosophical method. Through his discussions on the relationship between nature and emotion, he put forward his doctrine of good emotion, arguing that emotion, as an irrational element, had a positive significance in ethical values. These ideas play an important role not only in rectifying rational philosophy but also in a comprehensive understanding of individual life.

Key words: Zhu Qianzhi, emotionalism, doctrine of good emotion
