Confucian Ethics And Social Justice

Starting from Lin Anwu's overall philosophy of "post-neo-Confucianism",this paper combs his creation of "Confucian ethics and social justice" in recent years and tries to explore a possibility of the new development of Confuciani sm in contemporary times.Lin Anwu took the lack of Confucian practice theory as the starting point of his research and proposed the research route from Mou Zongsan to Xiong Shili and back to Wang Chuanshan.He believes that the new development of traditional Confucianism in the contemporary era needs to be clarified from the perspective of Confucian ethics and social justice,Confucian ethics must be constructed in the composition of the ideal "civil society".First of all,this paper combs the connection between Lin Anwu's philosophical thinking and his study process,and clearly studies the theoretical system of Chuanshan Studies,Chinese and Western philosophy which directly affects Lin Anwu's view of the world and is closely related to the construction of post-New Confucianism.Then,I combed the construction process and basic content of post-Neo-Confucianism.Post-neo-Confucianism consists of two levels of ontology and social philosophy,namely "there states of being" and "the theory of social justice" or "civil Confucianism".Criticizing Mou Zongsan's ontology is only a metaphysical preservation of conscience in theory,not a practical reality.The creative interpretation of Xiong Shili emphasizes that human beings exist as "living beings",opens up the kinetic energy of human practice and transfers out the "there states of being".The "there states of being" is based on Chuanshan's "theory of qi",which emphasizes the practical meaning of human beings,the field and the overall social history,thus opening up the post-Neo-Confucianism system.At the same time,it points out that the tradition of psychology is the result of the misplacement of Tao and should face up to the traditional Confucian ethics of responsibility.Finally,I sort out the work of Lin Anwu in trying to solve the dilemma of traditional Confucianism in the current society.He thought that the traditional blood source axis should be transformed into an interpersonal interaction axis,respecting the existing system structure,and clarifying the adjustment and proper position of Confucian ethics on this basis,that is,adjusting a "new inner saint" in the "new foreign kings".It points out that the justice of public field is greater than that of human relations,and establishes a Confucian system with social justice as the core.This paper holds that Lin Anwu's exploration should be paid attention to:Post Neo Confucianism opens up the form of Neo Qi Confucianism,restarts the practical theory of Confucianism,and provides a new research direction for the study of Chinese philosophy.What is particularly significant is that Lin Anwu consciously introduced the practice view of Marxist philosophy,put forward the concept of "Confucian Marxism",and thought that the social practice view of Marxism can remedy the lack of traditional Confucian moral practice view.
