Abstract: Chinese traditional Confucian “subject-activity” and Buddhist “noumenon-function” theory of mind are used to investigate the two premise reasons of the viewpoint of robots with human mind， which are non-subjectivity and functionalism of mind. It is found that mental activities are of subjectivity， and neither mental functions nor organs can equate to the noumenon-function integrated human mind. Thus the two reasons together with its logic are found defective and the view loses its support. Finally， implications are provided: Firstly， to turn inwards. Secondly， to “control things” with human mind. Artificial intelligence is unintentional but worthy of use， and its pros and cons depend on who use it. Thirdly， to attach more importance to the study of machine-style “thinking”. In short， human beings need to enhance their subjectivity and self-wisdom to develop the “advanced instrumental rationality”. The development of artificial intelligence is not only an issue of technological innovation， but also a chance to cultivate beneficial resources from the traditional philosophy of mind.

Key words: mind; subjectivity; noumenon-function theory; artificial intelligence; instrumental rationality
