Gao Hanwen was tossing about the new district and directing the benevolence and righteousness index.
Especially with the lock-up of the new district plan, the rest is basically left to the craftsmen of the Weaving Bureau to build.
Gao Hanwen made time to specifically guide the construction of New Confucian theory of the two students and Liu Junmo.
The division of labor between the two students is clear. Zhu Geng is good at deduction and mainly does theoretical sorting, while Shen Guangyuan is good at induction and does data verification.
First, Zhu Geng reported his results.
"Teacher, can you speak?" Zhu Geng stood on the podium in the conference room of the training school, still a little afraid to speak.
"Haha, if you really use Confucianism as a tool to govern the world, there is nothing you can't say, because only by perfecting Confucianism can the world truly be peaceful, and only Confucianism that can govern the world is true Confucianism. If you If you regard Confucianism as a fragile treasure or treasure, you must be careful, otherwise it will not look good if Confucianism is shattered." Gao Hanwen is still very liberal in such closed-door academic meetings.
Actually, the door is closed, but Gao Hanwen doesn't care if there is anyone outside the door, because as long as he doesn't enter the room, Gao Hanwen can deny it afterwards.
With the teacher’s endorsement, Zhu Geng finally became bold.
To sort out the theory of Confucianism, the first thing is what is Confucianism and the original arguments of Confucianism.
However, after comparing hundreds of ancient documents, we discovered an embarrassing fact
Before the birth of Confucianism, or outside of Confucianism, there was no shortage of scholars or scholars who advocated benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, trustworthiness, gentleness, courtesy, thrift and humiliation. scholar.
In other words, Confucianism is just a summary or prominent promotion of existing moral qualities.
The true originality of Confucianism and the original creation of Confucius believes that the country can be governed based on personal moral character and the main moral character can be refined into the indicator of benevolence, thus making unremitting efforts to build a moral dynasty in China. effort. This is also the greatest contribution of Confucius, which is to establish a common goal for individuals and society.
But it is obvious that why can personal moral character be consistent with the requirements of social governance? What is the difference between this and the sage Mencius? On the one hand, he proposed the righteousness index to complement the benevolence index, and on the other hand, he proposed the theory of human nature Try to answer this question from a hypothetical level.
Think about it, if people are all kind in nature, they also have good causes. That unkindness is just a very special case caused by acquired factors. Then we only need to let everyone continue to be benevolent, righteous and kind, and the whole society will be harmonious.
However, the theory of good nature has been under attack at the same time. Xunzi’s doubts. In fact, the logic is very simple. If everyone is good-natured, then the focus of social governance is not on people at all, but on finding the objective external causes in society that cause individual people to be bad. Therefore, the necessity of moral character education cannot be deduced from the premise of the theory of good nature.
If the theory of good nature is true, people need the education of bad nature and good nature, butEducation that will not be misled, especially by the objective external causes of evil that exist in society.
Of course, Xunzi not only refuted the theory of good nature, but also put forward the theory of evil nature. The evil is that everyone has the potential to maximize his own interests at the expense of other people's interests. Therefore, persistent education is needed in order to restrain human nature.
But according to Xunzi's theory, the more education, the nobler the moral character. Most people who have not received education have bad morals. But this is obviously not true, because the poor cannot receive education. Many people work until death all their lives without even a chance to become morally corrupt. According to the theory of evil nature, this group of people should have rebelled long ago and divided up the land.
