明代中国的穆斯林学者王岱舆依据伊斯兰文本，尤其是波斯文本的思想资源参与讨论“无极”问题，对中国传统的宇宙论进行思考。①他认为无极可以对应伊斯兰教哲学中的“穆罕默德灵魂”这一概念，无极与太极一体而二分，无极为体，太极为用，无极对应精神世界，太极对应形质世界，无极与人极相统一，无极为人极的先天范式，人极是无极后天的完美体现。这样的解释即是对儒家无极观念的丰富，也较好地沟通了伊斯兰教思想与儒家思想。%Chinese Muslim scholar Wang Daiyu in the Ming Dynasty participated in the discussion of "infinity"problem based on the Islamic texts , especially the Persian text to think about the traditional Chinese cosmology . He considered "infinity"to be in correspondce with the Islamic philosophy of "Mohamed spirit"."Infinity"and "Taiji"share the same origin , in which"Infinity"is the inner spirit and "Taiji"is the outside body ."In-finity"is the congenital paradigm of "Renji"and"Renji"is the perfect embodiment of aquired "infinity".This explaination not only enriches the Confucianism , but also facilitates the communication between Islam and Con-fucianism .
