朱熹通过与陆九渊进行「无极太极」论辩, 明确了对「太极」概念的观点, 并以此为基础建构了自己宇宙本体论体系。朱熹对「太极」的主要观点和主张, 不仅被李彦迪完全理解和接受, 进一步被李彦迪继承和发明。李彦迪彻底站在朱熹的立场, 巧妙引用朱熹的观点, 与陆九渊 (孙叔暾) 相对立的曹汉辅围绕「无极而太极」的解释问题进行了论辩。到近代, 大巡思想借用无极与太极概念, 以「无极」来解释道之本体, 无极作为道之「定」的侧面, 具有本体层面上的含义 ; 以「太极」来解释万物之具体生成,变化的过程, 太极作为道之「动」的侧面, 具有作用层面上的含义。进一步, 在无极与太极概念的基础上, 大巡思想多设一个「九天应元雷声普化天尊上帝」的存在, 来发挥「掌管」和「主宰」无极与太极的作用。在当时内忧外患的时代背景下, 大巡思想试图以万能的存在——上帝, 消除一切痛苦和怨恨, 开辟充满真爱和正义的后天世界。
Reacting to Lu Jiu-yuan's teachings on "Wuji-Taiji," Zhu-Xi explicitly outlined his own viewpoints on the concept of "Taiji." Furthermore, he established a system of cosmological ontology based on them. Zhu-xi's main viewpoints and arguments on "Taiji" were fully understood and accepted by Lee Eon-jeok, who inherited and developed them even further. Lee Eon-jeok argued with Cho Han-bo, a thinker who contended against Lu Jiu-yuan (Son Sook-don) on the interpretation of "Wuji er Taiji" by deftly quoting Zhu-xi's point of view from Zhu-xi's standpoint. In modern times, Daesoon Thought has borrowed the concept of "Wuji" and "Taiji," and interpreted the original body of the "Dao" as "Wuji" to reveal a stationarity of the "Dao." This is interpreted as the specific creation of all things and the process of change, wherein Taiji represents the revealed activity of the "Dao." This development can be seen as an attempt by Daesoon Thought to clear away all suffering and enmity and open up a Later World of love and justice through an omnipotent Supreme God (Sangje) in times of desperate crisis of internal and external troubles.
