A Study On The Theory Of Jen Of Zhxi

As the kernel of Confucianism, the theory of Jen is not a kind of close and isolated form. With the gradual changes of each category, each system while following China's philosophy and perfecting, Confucianism is becoming newer and newer, which has got sufficient development. So when we studies in Jen, we cannot only focus on Jen of Confucius and Mencius in Qin period but ignore the new change in Song period. Only putting it in the whole of Confucianism's system, we can announce its concrete intension.ZhuXi paid more attention to the theory of Jen and comprehended Confucianism of Northern Song Dynasty. We can say that" Jen" is a total guiding principle in the sub system of philosophy of the ZhuXi. ZhuXi communicated the Heaven and Man at this word. Jen may be thought as " ZhuXi gave lectures an large head, which put out its disperse item by it". Studying Confucianism and ZhuXi theory on the basis of Jen is important, but less set foot in treatise of Jen, So I hope to deepen the deep and remote border, take the lead in doing some tries and probing.This text can be divided into five parts on the research of ZhuXi Jen theory: First, visit the historical origin of tracing back.

Because of the reason of the mode of rational thinking of ZhuXi, it causes the consequences of two aspects: (1)" deposit justice kill people want", overly emphasize reason in morals, Strangle perceptual life, make morals realm become and lack existence of vigor finally, Make morals ethics become authority rule.(2)In the theory of Jen develops to ZhuXi, and has made very great achievement, which Increases humanity to the height of heaven, stresses the entity and reason of Jen further, It is only this kind of attention rational to morals to cause other respects of humane value and ignore thus strangle people's creativity. Fifth, no matter it studies foundation of morals value, humane realization of value of world-view. All are realized in the harmony between Heaven and Man.
