Researching Of Xu Fuguan's Political Philosophy

Xu Fuguan who lingered "between academic and political","defended traditional moral principles by the traditionalism","discussed the politics by the liberalism"tried for the realization of the modern Neo-Confucianism politics philosophy .The modern Neo-Confucianism politics philosophy's goal is how to solve the modernization of traditional Confucians intrinsic spirit, that is to say, how to process the relations between"in the Saint"and"outside the king".As the traditionist, Xu Fuguan intensely opposed to abandon the traditional value resources, positively advocated to excavate and absorb the inner value resources in the Confucians political thought as the value foundation of the Chinese modern democracy. At the same time, he wanted to make up careless mistakes of the value in the Western modern democracy.The consciousness of hardship is the driving force of Chinese humanistic spirit., it represents the genuine Chinese spirit which is how"to inspire spirit, to exercise morality, to create culture". Xu Fuguan believed that the sense of hardship varied from"respect"to"Yi"(彝), then from"Yi"(彝) to"ritual", the external"ritual"finally internalized by Confucius"benevolence". The sense of hardship had been realized to the transformation of the universal heart and nature. Therefore, Xu Fuguan discussed the meaning of the sense of hardship with emphasis on the political life, and he also discussed the consciousness of politics, consciousness of political liability, consciousness of awareness and consciousness of foresight.In the traditional Confucianism's heart and nature, theory of original goodness of human nature takes the mainstream. It implements in the entire Confucianism's domains such as, political ethics, the innermost feelings training, metaphysics. Xu Fuguan deliberately rethought the original goodness of human nature by the historical method. He thought that the question"the nature and the destiny"was fused and"original goodness of human nature"was determined finally replied, which had established value root of the modern Neo-Confucianism politics philosophy that moral rationality has taken the original goodness of human nature. Thus, Xu Fuguan's scholarship of heart and nature was essentially a kind of metaphysics. This kind of value root formed the thoughts about People foremost and the rules by morality when it extended to the political realm .As a liberalist, Xu Fuguan criticized the Chinese tradition's political system, especially the absolute monarchy and he regarded it as"the spall mourning nationality life, baffles the historical evolution the total root".He wanted to engraft the Western modern democracy viewpoint to the political system of Chinese existing freedom democratic idea.Freedom, democracy, equality and government by law are the core viewpoints which the Western politics philosophy should discuss and annotate. Xu Fuguan excavated the implication in the traditional Confucians political thinking value resources like"free spirit","equal idea","`power original ' in people"according to these viewpoints, he wanted to explain and communicate with modern politics philosophy basic concept like freedom, democratic, carries on releases, the communications and the fusion mutually. From this, he thought the central traditional Confucians political thinking and the modern democracy thought could tolerant with each other, and only by this means, the modern democracy may live in the steady root in China, and may gain the new value root.
