On The Logic Of Han Fei Thought

"Han Fei", a book is gathered from a single piece. However, the thought of Han Fei is self-contained. We may ask a question that what exists behind the writings patchwork system of thought. Over the years, scholars did not directly answer the question. Nowadays academic research on Han Fei often takes a particular angle, such as the angle of the history of philosophy, social history point of view, a political point of history. While each has its own point of view and reasonable place, but thought is a complete theoretical system, these angles on Han Fei can be seen as a deep cut. An important objective is to restore the history of ideas ideological thinker. Thinking research should show integrity and systematic ideology. Thus, the study of logical thinking of Han Fei is inevitable."Essay on Man" is the starting point of Han Fei logic. In the past, scholars alleged "humanity" as "human nature", or alleged "Favors " as "human nature", the results confused concepts of humanity, people’s heart, favors. In Han Fei’s "Essay on Man", the "human nature" is a gift to the people, not the people’s consciousness for the transfer of emotion(likes and dislikes), intellectual, physical, personality, temperament and other things. "People’s heart" refers to the person’s organs and organ psychology, consciousness functions. Among them, psychology, consciousness manifested most important fixed tendencies, including "Chasing interests Heart", " Chasing Reputation Heart", "Calculation of the heart," "loving heart", "treacherous heart." "Favors" includes "emotion", "real love", "common sense", "guidelines" and other layers of meaning, the two main lines running through them, one from the "emotional" to "guidelines", there are objective, laws of tendency; the second is "likes and dislikes" through "human" of all levels. Overall, human nature, people’s heart and favor, are three separate but interrelated concepts. What through three concepts are people with the "likes and dislikes" capability. This capability under different historical conditions have different manifestations. In ancient, materials are so rich that people like virtue and morality, however, on the contemporary materials is so short that people like material interests. Thus, people’s likes and dislikes ability and comprehensive environmental history and became "human nature" that chasing advantages and avoiding disadvantages, chasing good reputation and avoiding bad reputation."Essay on Politics" is the logical center of Han Fei. Scholars tend to "use law, trickery, and power" as the basic idea of Han political commentator. However, Han never expressed this meaning, he tends to use "law", "trickery", basically does not involve "power". In fact, the "power" in Han Fei does not have an independent status. Han Fei advocated "using power" is actually the use of "reward and punishment" and "law, trickery". The theory of “reward and punishment” is based on chasing advantages and avoiding disadvantages", its basic principles include "heavy reward and heavy penalties", "punishing goes first before rewarding", "proper reward and punishment" and " honesty on reward and punishment". In addition, rewards and punishments need to combine with the praise or blame. Because it is difficult to avoid the subjective arbitrariness of reward and punishment, and therefore it needs "law and trickery" as the objective basis for reward and punishment. "Law" is the basic tool for the monarch ruling the people. whether abolish "private interests" and take "public law" decided the fate of the countries of the Warring States, which advocates the removal of Confucian scholars, strategists, ranger, people who escape war, workers and businessmen. They were called as "Five Bookworms." “Trickery " is the basic tool for controlling officials for monarch. Han Fei has two definition in "fixed law" and the third discussion", the former refers to the "Legal Advisors surgery" and inspect personnel as the main purpose. The latter refers to "inspection technique" and police rape as the main goal. Two methods are very different but complementary means of domination. "Law" and "Trickery" is two parts of the "wartime despotism". The two essential components are most valuable results of logical interpretation of Han Fei thought."Essay on Tao" is the end of the Han thought logic. On the status of the road in Han Fei logic, some people think that it acts as "Essay on Man" and "Essay on Politics" metaphysical basis. In fact, the value of Taoism is to provide support the Saints and the King, is to regulate conflicts between the monarch and spells. For Han Fei, the inside track to the framework for resolving the conflict on the monarch and “law and trickery”, the first place is to start from the root, to transforms metaphysics, and make the Han Fei coordination. Firstly, he transformed the "Taoism" of Lao Tzu, he changed from the "Taoism" to the circular motion of the way things break down movement. Moreover, the decomposition of Lao Tzu "moral", he road in nature, the implementation of social aspects called "Li", the track in the implementation of the human spiritual dimension called "moral." Thus, in Han Fei there, down the implementation path body has two ways: First, the "Tao �' Li �' object," the first "Tao �' morality �' people." These two pathways in a physical level corresponding to the "Saint" and "King" : First, the law of the Tao into concrete things, the formation of a "Li", the rationale followed by the implementation of the spell is to "King"; the second is the road body into the inner spirit, forming a "virtue", morality is the quality should be a monarch is a "Saint." Eventually, the monarch of the "virtue" and spell unity.
