| Abstract |
Although the classics in the field of Chinese philosophy are not lacking in systems and expositions of political theory, such expositions have different models from the connotation and definition of “politics” in the contemporary Western context. Especially, Confucianism as a mainstream ideology rebuilds the political order via the “politics of non-political theory.” In other words, in the context of Chinese philosophy, there is no “political man” argument system and personality model, but only the “moral man” system in the political theory called “political moral man.” That is to say, the perfect personality of Saint is the guarantee of justice political practice. Saint in the political system could be called Sage King, and he is the only person who can make perfect ethic and system in Chinese philosophical field. We can say anything could be solve by moral in Chinese philosophical field, including political problems. In this thinking system, man must be a moral man first and he could be a political man, so moral practice is the political practice, and there is no political practice like what politics delimit in system of western political theory. And this thought could be contract to Confucius’ failure in the political practice, so “political man” becomes the shadow in Chinese psychological construction. It can be said there has the “Political Sublimation” in Chinese philosophical field, that is to say, politics in Chinese philosophical field is a “Steaming Politics”——it exist but it can’t see, so it is exist of non-exist. This type of politics in Chinese philosophical field is the collective unconscious of Chinese beings, and it present in the stories context of “ear washing of Xu You” and “the delight of Confucius and Yen Hwei.” |
