摘要
First, this paper discusses Marechal's position that takes "judgment" as the starting point of metaphysics, then Coreth's that takes questioning as the starting point, before it starts to compare them with Chinese philosophy from an intercultural point of view. Even if Marechal emphasizes cognitive judgment, whereas the Book of Changes puts its emphasis on the judgment of good or bad omen, and the Spring and Autumn Annals on moral judgment of historical action, they all concern themselves with human action and they all see judgment as revealing transcendental message. Chinese philosophy also has its tradition of questioning, such as Zhuangzi who always questions any judgment discriminating good and evil, right and wrong. However, in questioning, he still points to the transcendent Dao and looks for playing with the infinite. Transcendental Thomism situates human action in the process of movement of finite being in which human mind dynamically points to the infinite. This is also quite similar to Chinese Philosophy, such as Confucianism and Daoism, which, starting from the finite, long for the infinite
