What is a common critique of Guo Xiang's philosophy?

Answered in 郭象 (Guō Xiàng)'s voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

Some find my emphasis on the spontaneous order of things and the inherent nature of each entity to be overly focused on the present and potentially lacking a strong ethical or prescriptive dimension. Critics might argue that by celebrating the natural state, I might downplay the need for conscious moral cultivation or societal reform. However, I believe that true order arises from understanding and aligning with the inherent principles of existence.
