The Highest State of Knowledge-Fang Dongmei's Philosophical Interpretation of Chao-Lun

Fang Dongmei is an original philosopher, who attached great importance to Buddhist Studies in his old age, and had a very high evaluation of the Seng Chao. He made a creative interpretation and reconstruction of Chao Lun through the use of modern western philosophy method by integrating Chinese and Western thoughts. He took Chuang-tzu and Prajnaparamita as"two ideological basis of Chao Lun",thought that things are not moving is the eternal philosophy and the nature of emptiness is emptiness. He considered the"intelligence ignorance theory" as the core idea in Chao Lun, which constructs the principle system in explaining the nature of wisdom. He put forward that wisdom is not general knowledge, but the highest realm it can aspire to.
