On Mencius' Theories Of Ren Yi

The unification of the Mandate of Heaven with Humanitarian Spirits is the theoretical infrastructure of the Immanent Sanctification School.As the legal foundation of the Zhou Dynasty,the God-endorsed Destiny was transferred into the one that gave disciplinary and moral roots to man?s ethics during the ChunQiu Period.In Confucius,Ren is reflected through humanitarian practice and the autonomous presentation of the Mandate of Heaven.The Universal Order said the ordinance of Heaven is what we call the law of our being,which equalizes Humanity to the Mandate of Heaven while Mencius brings the equalization of Humanity and the Mandate of Heaven into a human heart that sublimates the four stages of humanitarian cognition to enlighten man on the introspection of humanity and the Mandate of Heaven and of the consistent nature of morality,humanity and the the Mandate of Heaven.Man?s state of heart is man?s choice of moral value,characterizes man?s strength in independence,spontaneity and transcendence.Man should live by man?s choice of moral value,should practice moral value to reach the goal of life instead of making happiness come first before the pursuit of moral value.The product of Confucius Ren is only one moment of humanitarian response while Yi Li and Zhi are all the spontaneous states of Human Morality.Man?s heart of understanding about shame and hatred is the standard of judgement.Mencius description of Yi emphasizes the aspects of value independence and the importance of Yi?s moral sublimation,in other words,objects the overuse of Mozi?s Fraternity to rectify Confucius Ren and to stress Confucius intolerance of man?s immoral acts.On the other hand,Mencius reaffirms the value of morality and the importance of culture by means of the debate over Righteousness and Benefit in order to criticize the phenomenal trend of utilitarianism.
