Throughout the history of Chinese philosophy, philosophers have interpreted humans and the world from different perspectives. Contemporary scholars have proposed new views and perspectives to deepen our understanding and insight into humans and the world. Against this background, the concepts of “viewing through affairs” and the “intention noumenon theory” deal with humans and the world through the lenses of “affairs” and “intention” respectively. The perspective of “viewing through affairs” marks a progression from “concrete metaphysics,” and “affairs” are presented as the concrete implementation of “concrete metaphysics.” “Viewing through affairs” is mainly characterized by “originality,” “unity,” and “concreteness.” “Originality” serves as the foundation, “unity” represents the negation of the “division of existence,” and “concreteness” signifies the triumph over “abstractness.” The “intention noumenon theory” seeks to interpret humans and the world from the perspective of “intention,” viewing the world from three dimensions: “creation of intention,” “actualization of intention,” and “generation of the realm of intention.” The perspectives of “intention” and “affairs” have something in common in understanding humans and the world, allowing them to blend with each other. “Intention” initiates the understanding of humans and the world, while “affairs” represent the specific implementation; intention catalyzes the generation of affairs, and in turn, affairs embody intentional actualization. Through diverse perspectives, we can get a more profound and comprehensive understanding of humans and the world.
