20.500.12556/RUL-186326 Li Zhi’s tongxin 童心 and the aesthetics of free subjectivity in nature and society This paper reinterprets Li Zhi’s notion of the childlike heart-mind as a philosophical expression of free subjectivity embedded within an immanent, relational world. Rather than approaching tongxin 童心 as a romanticized ideal of innocence or spontaneity, it situates it within Li Zhi’s critique of Neo-Confucian moral dogmatism, metaphysical hierarchy, and imposed norms of cultivation. Instead of subordinating individuality to a cosmic order or dissolving subjectivity into an impersonal process, he advances a vision of ecological embeddedness grounded in critical, self-reflective agency. The study highlights Li Zhi’s relevance for contemporary debates on subjectivity, ecology, and the limits of moral abstraction in holistic thought. aesthetics ethics ecology cosmic embeddedness Li Zhi childlike heart-mind tongxin vpetost v kozmos Li Zhi otroška srčna zavest tongxin true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2026-08-31 09:30:46 2026-08-31 09:30:53 2026-09-03 04:37:16 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Str. 1-14 No. 1 Vol. 53 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2026-08-26 1(510) 0301-8121 10.1163/15406253-12340176 289416195 JR_Li_Zhi_RUL.pdf JR_Li_Zhi_RUL.pdf 1 F512610AA64152321904E14964FFD983 d231afbb5f6d81f4adec02a3156b8b09d4f621711a014887e4ac5deef66d7b59 b2c4d6c6-a50d-11f1-9b0d-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=245478 https://doi.org/10.1163/15406253-12340176 0 e174f4cf-a50d-11f1-9b0d-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=245479 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
