In the 70’s and 80’s of the 20 th,Political philosophy begins to revive in the West, and gradually become a hot area of philosophical research. In twenty-first Century, the research upsurge of political philosophy began to spread in China. the article named rise of the political philosophy wrote by professor Gan Yang and Liu Xiao-feng believes that China’s political philosophy to achieve greater development, we must re depth study of the ancient Chinese tradition of classical civilization, especially the Confucian tradition of classical political philosophy. As the political philosophy is generally the basic issues of human political life, so in terms of its practical significance, its own will have more than the specific characteristics of the times. Although Wang Fu-zhi’s era and today has been completely different, but in his political thought there must be some has historical value and the practical significance of worthy of our study and rational understanding of the valuable content, and in a modern language to explain, favorable to today’s political construction from the traditional lessons.Wang Fu-zhi’s academic thought is very complex and extensive, political outlook is closely linked with the feudal ethics thought, embodies the idea of political ethics, philosophical ontology, economic thought often from the point of view of ethics and politics and put forward. In view of the above academic characteristics, this paper chooses the comprehensive research method, from the multi angle, multi lateral will mind focused on the node of political philosophy with Chinese traditional literature, history and philosophy, to conduct in-depth research. By way of analyzing the political philosophy, pay attention to the distinction between Wang Fu-zhi in reality of political criticism and the construction of political ideal, the political thought rich philosophical theory system of the original to appear.The main contents are as follows:First, the theory resources of life and political philosophy of Wang Fuzhi has done a systematic analysis.Affected by his father, Wang Fu-zhi studied at the Theory of spring and autumn all his life, Sinocentrism is an important aspect of Wang Fu-zhi thought. And the peasant army contact Wang Fu-zhi to have a more profound understanding of the social class of farmers, this is the reality he thought of the people.Political crisis and the nation from peril to Wang Fu-zhi’s understanding to the autocratic system was exist irreconcilable contradictions, in reviewing the process of the political system proposed stringent critique on the autocracy. The ideological origins mainly connecting the Neo Confucianism of the song and Ming Dynasties, also by the Taoist philosophy, Buddhist philosophy and in late Ming Dynasty, the western trend of thought. Based on inheriting the former Confucianism put forward his own unique views on politics.Second, the study of the philosophy of Wang Fuzhi’s political philosophy and the basis of the theory of human nature.Wang Fu-zhi inherited of the Qi theory of Zhang Zai, took the Qi as the foundation and advocated "copulation metaplasia" realism. He thinks "Tai Wo" the Yin and Yang of the state of being, is "Qi" as the noumenon of all things, connotation the nature that Yang is strengthen and Yin is obedient to, this is all worldly knowledge and rules produced effect or the effect of the basis. Reflect on the political philosophy, is the harmony between man and nature, natural morals is the foundation of the kingcraft. In terms of the theory of human nature, he thinks Human nature sources on the logos, emphasize cultivating oneself to match natural morals, and nature of virtue, kingcraft consistent to Saint and Emperor.In the aspect of epistemology, Wang Fu-zhi advocated logos follower substance, logos sometimes Present a variety of forms, from "substance" to "Tao", and from "Tao" to "morals", from perceptual knowledge to rational knowledge of the continuous deepening of guiding the practice of human virtue, he stressed to "do" and "Virtue", pay attention to the unity of "Tao" and "morals".Three, the main content of Wang Fuzhi’s political philosophy has done a more systematic analysis and excavation.Wang Fu-zhi opposed to the traditional orthodoxy, that only in line with the "public world" of the principle of the regime can be regarded as orthodox. Orthodoxy can be independent of rule system exists, advocated "rule system" and "Confucian tradition" one. On the centralization and decentralization, as opposed to a highly centralized, advocated decentralization to the prime minister, also advocated in central centralization and decentralization, only in this way to prevent the governor "private world, but also to the country to get effective governance. In means of political governance, Wang Fu-zhi advocated the "rule of man" and "rule by law", "rule by man", "rule of law" as a supplement. Moral education based, punishment as a supplement.Fourth, the ideal of Wang Fuzhi political relations have done a summary and analysis.This chapter mainly divided into three points to discuss. The relationship between the monarch and his subjects that monarch should "any officer with sincerity", minister should be "obey the morals but not the sovereign", the relationship between monarch and people, claim people-oriented. and from heaven of the height of "people-oriented" interpretation that "rules revealed in people’ and people is rules of concrete, the rules is people like pumping. people-oriented from the root of the fact that rules is importance, attach importance to rules from the specific operation is concerned about the people. Finally, on the ethnic relations that on ethnic relations should be " justice " as the key link, pay attention to " Yi-Xia defense ", and put forward the " three justice theory " he thought there are" one of justice "," a period of of justice "and " the world justice "the world justice " is the highest principle of "righteousness", think we should maintain the legitimacy of the Chinese.Fifth, analysis of Wang Fuzhi’s political philosophy thought of the historical position and contemporary evaluation.Wang Fu-zhi’s patriotic patriotism is a valuable theoretical support for the reform of the late Qing Dynasty and the revolutionary school. After the establishment of the Republic of China, Wang Fu-zhi’s thought of nationalism has become the ideological weapon for the Chinese nation to oppose the enemy. Wang Fu-zhi’s political philosophy represents the highest peak of Chinese traditional political philosophy, but also has some historical limitations.There should be a fair understanding of this.
