Understanding the issue of death can reflect a person’s understanding of the purposes,value and significance of the human life.Based on a saying by Confucius,if man does not know death,then how can he know life?this paper applies Jaspers’transcending approach in his philosophy on existence to point out the non-transcendence in Confucian concept of death,and by an in -depth analysis of Wang Yangming’s “Dragon field enlightenment”to reveal his transcendent concept on death.In this way,it enabled China to realize the revolutionary change in the history of philosophy.%对死亡问题的理解可以折射出一个人对人生的目的、价值和意义的理解,套用孔子的说法,不知死,焉知生?本文采用雅斯贝尔斯生存哲学的超越思想方法,指出孔子死亡观的非超越性,并通过对王阳明“龙场悟道”的深入剖析,揭示其在死亡观上的超越性思想,从而实现了中国哲学史上的革命性变革。
