The purpose of this paper is to give a short survey of two contemporary Chinese philosophers’ (Thome Fang’s and Shih-chuan Chen’s) view of Chinese metaphysics, in reference to Western classical metaphysics, with the hope that it may shed some light on the development of future metaphysics. In the historical developments of Chinese and Western thoughts there were philosophical speculations of the universal principles concerning nature and man as a whole and rational concerns with the ultimate reality, which indicate not only the pursuit of metaphysics to be the essence of philosophy but also the greatest achievements of civilized mind. What are the fundamental principles by which the universe was composed of ? What are the universal governing principles that underlie that natural courses? How are we related to these principles? What is man’s place in nature? What are the ultimate realities of human life and of the universe? Are there eternal principles behind the changing world, realities behind appearances? To these perennial and metaphysical questions, both ancient Chinese and Western philosophers had opened many paths to the answers, which are in some ways similar to but to other way different from each other. All this explains why Chinese and Western philosophies, beginning with a common point of departure, eventually run their own courses in different directions. The present paper takes contemporary Chinese philosophers, Thome Fang’s and Shih-chuan Chen’s view of Chinese metaphysics as its main theses, since Fang and Chen are the exponents of both original Confucianism and original Taoism. Both Fang and Chen maintained that the Book of Changes (or the Book of Creativity) is of great philosophical significance. It abounds with metaphysical principles, including all the cosmological, ontological, and exobiological principles that reveal the realities of nature, of humanity, and of society. They also considered the Book of Ancient History as an important source of Chinese metaphysics, in which the Chapter of Nine Grand Categories explicates the highest political and moral principles of ancient China and exerts perennial influences on the original Confucianism. Fang and Chen therefore took the book of Changes and the Book of Ancient History as the underpinnings of original Confucianism and also the source books of Chinese metaphysics. In addition to original Confucianism, Fang also the source books of Chinese and Chuangtzu’s philosophy, not the pseudo-philosophical doctrines of the Chi-Hsia Scholars of Ch’I in the Pre-Ch’in Dynasty or the Tao-priests, to be another fountain of Chinese metaphysics.
