A Discussion Of The Relationship Between Xun Zi's Philosophy And Han Feizi's

Xun Zi and the Warring States period, as a famous Confucian scholar Mencius, the great characteristics of academic ideology. On the one hand, his title of master of Confucianism; On the other hand, he is often seen as a pioneer Legalists thinking. Arising from such a dual position as an important reason for this is that he taught out of a well-known disciples Legalists - Hanfeizi. From Confucianism to Legalists, Xunzi years have the idea of what kind of "gene" was a result of such a strange phenomenon?Xunzi's academic activities from the point of view, his lifeshuttle, Qin, Zhao, Chu between the four countries, and have a long history as a time to stay in the academic and cultural center of learning Qi Gong Jixia become academic leaders there. At that time, his social and political status and academic schools of thought, has a deep understanding and research. This social reality, especially in a wide range of high-level rulers, as well as practical exposure to various schools of thought with the full impact, for Xunzi the transformation of Confucian ideas and the development of the nutrients. Warring States period, scholarly thinking "hundred schools of thought contend." Zhou Dynasty and the de facto disintegration of the Zhou social and cultural basis of the damage, an objective thinking to the various schools of the existence and development. Essentially missing in the official doctrine, the doctrine of each is in a position of equality, and competition has become the official doctrine of the opportunities and motivation. Thus, we no longer just a "behind closed doors", but the forefront, mutual collisions, integration and development. In such an atmosphere, as a center of academic thought at the time Xue Gong Jixia academic leaders, Xunzi's thinking is of such a collision course, a product of integration.In the real social environment and academic atmosphere of academic thought Xunzi had its own characteristics. Relations in Heaven, Xunzi clear separation of the divine, the authority can not arbitrarily. Human limitations provided for in their own nature, which means that people experience in their own context, to give full play to their initiative. In this way, Xunzi Taoist ceremony on the one hand, abandoned the pursuit of the only form of birth resulted in a tendency for the Confucian thought on the other hand, the feelings of the WTO have found a theoretical basis and rely on. On this basis, the Xunzi certainly a reason from the object to the senses, to understand the heart of such a line.In the awareness of the problem of human nature, the Xunzi advocated "evil nature" and on this basis, people can not like the thought of Confucius and Mencius, a separate development on the nature of the individual to achieve good position. Good, moral, manners are acquired saints "from pseudo-resistance" from, at the same time, in the community, the saints, after all, is one of the few, which means that for most people, good, moral, ritual is the day after tomorrow , external, not Mencius said, Everyone has the "bear's heart." And Xunzi can be a sense from everyone, we can see that visible, before the existence of social ethics from the basic physical desires, so that his "evil nature of" nature has a greater sense of universality, in this he also upheld the His naturalist position.And other Confucian scholars, the Xunzi is also praised for the ceremony. But he said the ceremony, has said the ceremony of Confucius and Mencius are very different from the mean shape has been greatly reduced, became saints developed the day after tomorrow, on the ordinary people, with external norms. This righteousness, and the law there are only a "window of paper", and its fundamental difference has been canceled.Hanfeizi the logic is to continue along this path, the establishment of a monarchy as the core to power based on a series of legal norms constitute a system of social governance by Xunzi by Chongli open to the evolution of weight and was Han developed to an extreme. Understanding on the one hand, he stressed that the real world and the importance of rules, on the other hand, in the naturalization of humanity after a thorough, kind of gave up on the ceremony of Xunzi's "ambiguous" attitude. Chong-law to embark on a radical path.Xunzi from the analysis of the specific content of thinking can be seen, with the traditional Confucian ideas of Confucius and Mencius moralism, compared with a natural ideology Xunzi tendencies, and through his thinking has always been. It is this natural tendency constitute Hanfeizi he thought in common.Xunzi's this natural tendency, as well as natural science is associated with. And it will distinguish between the outside world, to recognize the objectivity of the object world, which is a scientific understanding of the premise and basis of Xunzi's "out in" just completed this work. By the senses to receive information from the object, and then be collated and processed to form the concept of human understanding, this understanding of the process of people close to the scientific description of the "theory of reflection" point of view.Understanding of speech is right or not depends on whether it is with reality, "site inspection", and whether the "implementation", the theory of human nature can be seen from the natural desire of the people, as well as the starting ceremony of the existence of a reasonable argument, with the scientific spirit of positivism aligned.Hanfeizi Legalists by the characteristics of thinking is not hard to see that Xunzi natural, and scientific orientation, it is natural Legalists on the concept and theory of human nature to the moral and metaphysical to the practical utility of and the starting point for the the basis of the concept of weight.
