The Idea Of Self In Commentaries On Theorems Of Ethics

When he was a child, Mao Zedong believed in Buddism because of his family. His first education was learning Confucianism—which is in fact an exquisite religion. So,"not haven't obtaining himself or have been stripped of himself"—this kind of tradition culture influced young Mao Zedong and he believed in"no self".Because of the development of modern thought in China, Mao Zedong turned to the theory of self first. Through thourough analysis, he found a"true self"and insisted"reasonable egoism". Furthermore,he intended to be a"complete self", so he developed the idea of"mental egoism", so he realized the"universe self". In conclusion, he formulated his idea of ultimate good: to sacrifice brilliantly for the"universe self".With relevant documents, I disclosed this couse. In fact, the notions—"self first","true self","universe self"form a complete ingrediation. This thesis try to make it clear the germination of"independent first"—the notion of"self first", a kind thought of thinking and cognition."self first", is not only a kind of ethics problem, but also a problem of thinking and cognition, I think. The discussion of this problem is meaningful as we try to develop new abutals both in theory and practice.
