Its representatives view : Zhu Xi's theory of cognitive significance of heart only, not moral initiative. So with no heart the significance of moral self-discipline ; Li is a death of Li. Li regulate the heart with morality outside. So it is impossible to discuss the morality based on the heart.If morality avoids free will, morality or immorality is not decided by people. So Zhucianism is a morality of other- discipline.But ZhuZi thinks the difference between Dao xin and Ren xin. Dao xin comes from Li. Ren xin comes from desire.But people have consciousness.
