In the study of Chinese Philosophy, there is a presumption that philosophers are healthy robust people. Yet few studies focus on the influence of philosophers' bodies on their philosophy though the influence does exist. Take Jiao Hong as an example. Jiao boasted a healthy body all his life, therefore he was curious on the philosophical problems and able to break through the experiential way of Taizhou School to embark on a new cognitive way. As to the relationship between body and philosophy, the philosophers in the Late Ming Dynasty can be divided into two types: the cognitive philosophers with a healthy body who, represented by Jiao Hong, chose the cognitive way in philosophy; the experiential philosophers with an unhealthy body who, represented by the three Yuan brothers from Gong'an, chose the experiential way in philosophy.%中国哲学研究中存在一种预设,即将哲学家视为身体健康、精力充沛的人,很少涉及身体状况对哲学家思想的影响,但这种影响确实存在.以焦竑为例,一生身体健康的他,对于尽性至命等形而上学问题,多具有好奇、求知的认知需求,因而其突破泰州心学传统,形成哲学上的认知进路.以此考察晚明哲学界,就身体与哲学的关系而言,晚明哲学家可分为两种类型:身体健康的认知型哲学家受疾病影响小,在哲学上以认知需求为主导,形成认知进路,以焦竑为代表;身体欠佳的体验型的哲学家受疾病影响大,在哲学上以身体需求为主导,形成体验进路,以公安三袁为代表.
