方東美以機體主義的視域論斷《易經》哲學是一套動態本體論,也是一部價值學總論。《易》哲學從整個國融廣大和諧之觀點,論及「至善概念」的起源及其發展。乾坤交感彰顯大生廣生的生生之理,彰顯有機的旁通統貫之理,旁通之理亦為化育之理。人性秉受乾坤生生之仁德,得以參與時間本身的創造化育歷程,贊天地化育可臻於至善之境。本文由方東美對中國哲學之通性與特點之勾畫;論《易》之成書及研究方法;開發《易傳》:「窮則變,變則通,通則久」的時間性本質原理;生生之理;旁通之理;化育之理及創造生命及價值實理歷程之理等七大面向來觀照方束美易學的可能全貌。
From the perspective of organicism, Thomé H. Fang concluded that the philosophy of the Book of Changes (Yi Jing) is a dynamic ontology and also a general theory of axiology. The philosophy of The Book of Changes addresses the origins and development of the concept of the "supreme good" from the perspective of all-comprehensive harmony. The interaction between Qian and Kun manifests birth on a great scale, birth on a vast scale, the principle of constant generation and the principle of "organic comprehension by analogy," while the principle of "organic comprehension by analogy" is also the principle of transformative nourishment. Bestowed with the virtue of constant generation by Qian and Kun, human nature gets to participate in the creative and nourishing process of time itself and assist in the transforming and nourishing process of Heaven and Earth to achieve the state of the supreme good. Informed by Thome H. Fang sketch of the features and characteristics of Chinese philosophy, this article pus in perspective the big picture of Fang's doctrine of change in the light of seven issues-the formation and methodology of The Book of Changes, the essential principle of temporality in Commentaries on the Book of Changes (Yi Juan) , the principle of constant generation, the principle of comprehension by analogy, the principle of transformative nourishment and the process of life-creation and value-fulfillment.
