On Xun Zi’s Thought Of Splitting And Making Groups

Xunzi was the master of the thought of the pre Qin period.Through the “tianrenzhifen” and “pseudo points” of the metaphysical foundation of reconstruction,Xunzi constructed the healthy social order of real human recognition and human subjective activity practice,so realize the inner logic of the subject value of social unity extension system construction.Unlike the Legalists who regard the nation as the passive tool to achieve the national interests,Xunzi regards the group as the embodiment,realization carrier and system guarantee of individual interests from the universal perspective of mankind.His reflective equilibrium tool is the same as Rawls.With the human reality demands for the interests and the possibility of human shape,through the “change humanity by man-made” and “righteousness and the specific provisions”,Xunzi built an individual group unity.So,we suggested Xunzi not only toke “righteousness” as the medium,but also used “righteousness and rule” and “rite” to support people.Not only that,we also suggested Xunzi formed a social construction model of “the clear division and the group”.As such,Zhou Kongzhi’s ritual and music civilization can be constructed on the basis of human nature and operable concrete system.From the perspective of a rational of respecting individual value and the formation of social order “the clear division and the group” thought,we confirmed Xunzi providing a way how the modern rational society can construct individual free social order based on reference important method.This is of great significance for today’s society.In addition,we reckon Xunzi’s exploration of the role of enlightenment in “the clear division and the group” is of theoretical significance for contemporary society to orientate and effectively promote moral construction.
