Han Fei Under The Influence Of Academics In The Late Zhou Dynasty

This paper is divided into two parts, part one start from the theory of humannature, the Content and Name and evolution of Han Fei's thought system, to discussthe relationship between Han Fei's academic thoughts that can be regarded as thetheoretical basis and the logical fulcrum content and late Zhou academic ; Part twobased on Law ,Technique,Situation of Han Fei thought system ,to arrange therelationship between center content of Han Fei's political thought and tlate Zhouacademic.The full text divides into six chapters:The first chapter discusses the influence that the theory of human nature of lateZhou to Han Fei.In this chapter, we summarise basic understanding of humanity of thescholar before Han Fei , then come to the conclusion that: before Han Fei,understanding on human nature that "want advantages and dislike disadvantages","draw on the advantages and avoid disadvantages ", is the mainstream recognition inlate Warring States period , this mainstream awareness start from Mo zi ,then inheritedby Guan Zhong and Shang Yang , and also drawn by Xunzi.Xunzi think humanity isevil , that is on the basis of mainstream understanding , in order to cope with the MengZi's thought system that humanity is good.Secondly, we summarize Han Fei'sunderstanding of human nature and relationship between it and the logical relations ,and points out that the basic point of Han Fei's theory of human nature is Guan Zi,Shang Yang and Xunzi , but abandoned moral judge of his teacher Xunzi, Han Fei'stheory of human nature basically followed Shang Yang ,also drew the thought of"follow" , and the theory of internal dialectical and realistic means of extremetranscend the forefathers .Based on the analysis and summary, the end of this chaptercomment on relation of Xunzi and Han Fei on the theory of human nature , and putforward our idea: on the one hand, the scholars think Han Fei hold the view that human nature is evil , is in the Xunzi position to investigate Han Fei, is not on HanFei's theory of human nature, on the other hand, the scholars think Han Fei inheritedhuman nature theory of Xunzi, from the academic development o, we think Han Fei'stheory of human nature is more inherited the legalist 's opinions and ideas.The second chapter mainly discusses the academic association between Han Feiand "Mingbian thought" of late Zhou.This chapter first explains the reason of using"Mingbian thought" , and then summarise academic achievements of"Mingbianthought".First of all, Han Fei inherit the "Mingbian thought "that communicate"name"and "words" , but Han Fei did not discuss the relationship between the two in theabstract level , but link "name" and "words" , then "situation" or "actuality" that HanFei discussed is naturally work through,Han Fei controll "form" and "name" widely onthe realistic political phenomenon , it become logic tool to analyse politicalphenomenon.Secondly, to the methodology of "situation" match "actuality" , Han Feimerge MoZi and Xunzi, and establish his own unique "investigate and check on theimplementation object".In addition, "Mingbian thought" effect Han Fei debate anddiscussion of logical power , especially "contradiction" ,it is one of the importantachievements in the logic thought category.The third part of this chapter discussesterminative significance of Han Fei's academic thought on "Mingbian thought".The"end" performance on two parts,on the one hand ,Han Fei did not development andbreakthrough "Mingbian thought" , on the other hand, Han Fei inherited tradition thatYin Yang, Confucianism, Tao, Fa criticise Ming, against people to discuss on thinkingpattern and language logic itself more extreme from utilitarianism position .Third chapter mainly discussed the evolutionary in Han Fei's choice.This chaptersummarizes the main content of Han Fei's evolutionary , Han Fei affirmed thehistorical development of change, the different historical period has its own uniquephenomena and characteristics, the ruling shall use political measures to deal withactual change .In this way, Han Fei put forward the idea "the dispute in force" , anddesign his political thought around it.The second part of this chapter summarise andobserve the historical idea of late Zhou scholar, we think when they summarise historical development rule , there are some consistent content in theory, such asaffirming the change and development of history, summarising the history stage typeand so on, but the philosophers have obvious differences in value orientation.Thesecond part of this chapter on the basis ofi the first two sections discussed somespecific views of Han Fei's the evolutionary ,we think Han Fei "old world" theory onthe III fashion different view is reflected the fusion and decision of Confucianism, Taoand Fa, and negate "According to King" thought of Xunzi .The fourth chapter discussd "law" of Han Fei on the choice of Zhuzi .This firstsection of this chapter discussd inheritance of "law" of Han Fei and "law" of ShangYang .This section from the Hanfeizi, through the method of comparative study,summed up "law" of Han Fei have direct inheritance relationship with Shang Yang'sideas in the agriculture and war, change law, punishment.But "law" of Han Fei is notcompletely copy Shang Yang's succession , but or theory, or to strengthen theargument, or extreme development.Specifically, the unity of change and unchange,Han Fei derives the LaoZi and strengthen the argument strength; about harshpunishment, Han Fei through the understanding of human nature and made the idea ofharsh punishment tends to complete; on fair law, Han Fei inherited the thought ofShang Yang, and to do further extremes development, on one hand he extreme the"private" coverage expansion, on the other hand, benefit of king is public benefit, andbenefit of people is benefit of relativeThe second part of this chapter discussdrelationship between Han Fei and Huang Lao , Han Fei's thought absorb Huang Laothought , at the same time, Han Fei proposed king and Tao are one thing.The third partof this chapter discussd punishment of Confucian,specific discussed "lightpunishment" of Han Fei and "criminal law does not use to officer" of Confucian .The fifth chapter mainly discussd "technique" of Han Fei on the relationshipbetween academic philosophers.This paper from the Hanfeizi , based on the scholarsstudy of Han Fei , summarized inheritance relations of Shen Buhai , we agree that thatis direct inheritance of traditional knowledge between Han Fei and Shen Buhai.Inaddition, this chapter attempts from the realistic background to analyse the similarities and differences between Han Fei and Shen Buhai, noted that Han Fei had more richfeatures than Shengbuhai ,and this had inevitable link with the relationship betweenthe emperor and the minister,and also with urgent topic of the times .This is the uniquecharacteristics of Han Fei from Shengbuhai and pre-Qin philosophers .The secondpart of this chapter from logic method to discuss the relationship between logical chainof technique of Shen-Han and Huang Lao, the "Silence", "Content and Name" and"Inaction" inherited Huang Lao Bo Shu,but the different is that Huang Lao Bo Shuthrough such a logical chain argument to "law" to inaction, Shen-Han is in "technique"to inaction.The sixth chapter discussed the relationship between "Situation" of Han Fei andscholars.The chapter defined on the theory of "Situation", summarized discourse ofSituation in SunZiBingFa,SunBinBingFa,GuanZi,ShenZi,ShenZi,ShangJunShu,Yin WenZi,XunZi,LvShiChunQiu, through this comb, we can seen clearly that scholar before HanFeiauthor had a certain degree of cognition of "Situation", especially "Situation ofking" , this provided good academic nutrientis to Han Fei .The second part of thischapter firstly is a brief summary of "Situation" , and then by the method ofcomparative study, pointed out that Han Fei's "Situation" existed an early and a latecognitive process.And from the academic perspective, Han Fei completely acceptShenDao in early stage , this is mainly reflected in DaTi of HanFeiZi; in late stage the"Situation" raised to a high level ,including the Confucian view, identity of LaoZi 'sphilosophy , using contradiction of "Mingbian thought" to prove and so on.
