Abstract

The article discusses essential factors of inner framework of Chinese classical political thought from the perspective of "political cognition".Firstly,the author defines expressly the conception of "Body Politics".Then he expounds three primary aspects of political cognition in Chinese classical political thought.Lastly,the author discusses cognitive effect and political results of the thinking mode.The main viewpoint of the article is that the cognitive track of Body Politics,on the one hand,has reducible and intuitional essential characteristic,which deduces and expresses those abstract and macroscopic and complex issues by "empathy" on the basis of "body",in fact,it decreases the time of reflect and reduces the difficulty of apprehension;on the other hand,it has intense empirical tendency,and constitutes apparent character of "concrete mode of thinking".The thought skeleton of "Chinese Thinking" is essential different from modern political theory on the basis of theory of contract theory.
