Conscious Mind, Forgetting Mind: Two Approaches in Multimethodology

This paper explores the Confucian and the Taoist conceptions of mind and knowledge, polarises the two recent approaches in Western multimethodology, and suggests that differences between the two approaches can be channelled to form a creative tension like that between the yin and yang, so that each can improve and enrich itself more consciously and spontaneously through mutual challenging and mutual learning.
