牟宗三赋予智的直觉以道德的创生义,表达着心体明觉的自我活动。然而心体作为主观原则对于性体的显现是没有对象义的,因此,在牟宗三的思想中物自身也即本体宇宙论的实体的自我。但是,宇宙本体作为万物所以被贞定的基础是需要确定的,否则不足以说明道德界和自然界的统一。为此,具有特殊意义的智的直觉将能够承担这种责任,它可以发明本体宇宙论的实体所具备的客观义,从而从理论上统一了天道与仁心。 Mu Zongsan conferred intellectual intuition on moral origin, expressing the self-activity of mind-body feeling. However, as a subjective principle, the mind is not object-oriented to the manifestation of the sexual body. Therefore, in Mou Zongsan’s thought, the thing itself is also the ego of the entity cosmology. However, as the universe itself as a thing, so the foundation of the chastity needs to be determined, otherwise it is not enough to explain the unity of the moral world and nature. For this reason, the intellectual instinct of special significance will be able to assume this responsibility by inventing the objective meanings of the entities in the ontological cosmology and thereby unifying the principles and benevolence in theory.
