Abstract:Intuition is a fundamental research method in Confucian philosophy, but for a long time, this method has been used frequently without enough reflection. Liang Shuming, Feng Youlan and Xiong Shili, the representatives of modern NeoConfucianist, combed and combined the intuition method which was widely used in Chinese philosophy. Comparing with and making use of the achievements of western philosophy and empirical scientific research, they creatively interpreted intuition in terms of Feiliang(非量),Xingzhi(性智),sensation and perception. In order to reconstruct the Confucian intuition concept from a comparative perspective, intuition research is introduced into the multiple relations of Ti(体) and Yong(用), knowledge and action, positive and negative,noumenon and cognition, experience and transcendence. Modern NeoConfucian intuition research emphasizes the role and value of intuition, recognizes intuition as a necessary method of philosophical research, and tries to coordinate the relation between intuition and reason. At that time, its purpose was to “save the nation and survive” in Chinese philosophy and culture, but at present it echoes the intuition research of western experimental philosophy of mind. The experimental philosophy of mind defends a large number of intuitive methods in philosophical research by means of linguistic analysis and case study. That is similar to the intuition research of modern NeoConfucianism. The intuitive method that Confucian philosophy relies on should explore its existence mode with the spirit of the age and Chinese style from the perspective of crosscultural comparison.
