Asian Philosophy essay about Yin-Yang, philosophy homework help

Term paper topic:

Explain how the Yin-Yang way of thinking (the Yin-Yang model of interaction and transformation) and

Zhuang Zi’s Daoist methodological vision (his version of “objective perspectivism”) together with the

Hegelian model can help you look at distinct approaches to one issue in philosophy, or one issue in

your own area of study, or one issue/event in public areas of contemporary times.

Required steps/contents and hints:

(1) Briefly present major points of the Yin-Yang way of thinking, especially its distinct crucial features

in contrast to the distinct crucial features of the Hegelian model (also briefly presented) [1.5 page]

and the two major points of Zhuang Zi’s methodological vision [0.5 page], as they are specified

and explained in this class. [2 pages]

(2) Identify one issue (either in philosophy, or in your own area of study, or in public areas of

contemporary times) in which there are two distinct engaging approaches under your examination,

and briefly present each of the two distinct approaches, distinguishing each one’s “perspective”

dimension (i.e., its own working perspective pointing to some aspect of the issue in its focus) and

its “guiding-principle” dimension (i.e., its attitude towards the relation between its own perspective

and the other perspective from the other approach, if any). [1.5 pages]

(3) Apply the Yin-Yang way of thinking and Zhuang Zi’s methodological vision together with the

Hegelian model to give your analysis of how we should adequately look at the relation between the

“perspective” dimensions of the two approaches (whether or not these distinct perspectives are

“eligible”, and, if yes, how they can jointly contribute to your understanding and treatment of the

issue under your examination), in view of the suggested “adequacy” conditions (as this instructor’s

guidance) for how to maintain adequate methodological guiding principles in relevant connections

to look at distinct approaches. [2.5 pages]
