Interdependence in Confucian World View
From the Idea of Fengjing (Landscape)
The Chinese counterpart of ¡®landscape¡¯ is fengjing ïL¾°. This word is based on the three semantic elements: wind, light, and seeing. I will trace below the philosophical implications of the three key sememes of the word fengjing in the perspective of comparative philosophy. The purpose of such a task lies, on the one hand, in evoking the aesthetics of fengjing dormant in the East Asian tradition and, on the other hand, in presenting a new model of interdependence that can stimulate environment-friendly ethical imagination.
