 According to Wang Yangming, good and evil cannot be separated from human “intention” (yinian 意念). Hence, human action can only be evaluated in the context of specific concrete situations. The impulse which tells us what is right (shi) or wrong (fei) in a particular situation is, once again, the concept of innate knowledge (liangzhi). As we have seen, the binary category of knowledge and action and the question of the relation between these two concepts represented one of the fundamental problems of Chinese epistemology. Hence, “innate knowledge”, the inborn capacity in which the boundary between knowledge and action apparently disappeared, was of utmost importance.
