There are two types of argument, “lust” and “knowledge”, in Dai Chen’s thinking; yet, previous studies had different interpretation. “Lust” was an important foundation of Dai Chen’s Ethic Theory of “Good Nature”; at the same time, Dai Chen suggested “learning” that tends to emphasize objective knowledge. Better than Clear Logic Theory in Sung Dynasty, his theory was considered a representative of Confucian “knowledge doctrine” in Qing Dynasty. Nevertheless, no further explanation concerning the collaboration of these two arguments; more discussions are needed for Dai Chen’s entire philosophical thinking to be considered a package of “knowledge doctrine”. Based upon these two discussions, the purpose of this paper is to investigate concepts of “desire”, “affections”, “know by heart”, and “good nature” to examine how these concepts construct the entire ethic philosophy of Dai Chen. The second chapter of this paper analyzes some important concepts in the context of Dai Chen such as “personality”, “good”, “nature”, “inevitability”, and “destiny” in order to discuss issues of “Theory of Good Nature” in Dai Chen’s philosophy. The third chapter focuses on important concept of “know by heart” in Dai Chen’s philosophy to analyze Dai Chen’s cognition theory and investigate how “know by heart” can reach the logic of “reasoning alike“. The fourth chapter analyzes the concepts of “affection” and “desire” in the context of Dai Chen to indicate its meanings and explain the construction of Dai Chen’s ethical standard relationship. By recollecting these concepts, it shows that Dai Chen’s philosophy still needs “lust” as a foundation to produce the ethical “logic”, although the “clearness of knowing by heart” is trained by “learning”. As to the content of “lust”, it is different from the understanding by idealist or scholars who focus on mind from Sung and Ming Dynasties, which contains social value that leads to “logic” of “reasoning alike” claimed by Dai Chen.
