| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 東亞學系 === 101 === The thesis’s aim is to present Carl Jung’s synchronicity principle using Mou Zongsan’s 牟宗三 philosophy of moral metaphysics. I argue that Western scientific paradigm is unable to offer an appropriate framework for integration of synchronicity principle, because the scientific paradigm is based on causality, whereas synchronicity principle is based on acausality, which does not follow the deterministic logic of scientific thinking. When Jung studied Chinese classic Yi Jing, he discovered it is based on synchronicity principle, in Chinese known as ganying 感應 or gantong 感通. Jung’s shortcoming was that he did not know Chinese language, therefore he approached Yi Jing only through available translations. In the West Yi Jing was still an unknown mystery waiting to be revealed. Since he was not able to explain synchronicity principle inside scientific framework it will be my task to explain synchronicity concept inside framework of Yi-ology. I will focus on Mou Zongsan’s Yi-ology, because it is based on moral metaphysics, which is similar to Jung’s concept of self-realization.
