Abstract: Tao Xingzhi's theory of knowing and doing constitutes a remarkable chapter in the history ofChinese discourses on knowledge and action. "Real life" serves as the point of departure for his theory, whilecreating value and experimentation form its two fundamental pillars. The uniquely coined concept of "gan"(doing/feeling/daring) represents the crux of his action-based unity of knowledge and practice. Furtherore, thetransformation of an action-centered model into a result-oriented paradigm of practice stands as the innovative contribution of his research into the logic of life.
