In Wing-Tsit Chan, A Sourcebook in Chinese Philosophy, (Princeton NJ: Princeton University Press, 1963), 95-115 this version available on the Internet via World Wide Web at gopher://gopher.vt.edu:10010/11/66/3 What Heaven has conferred is called The Nature; an accordance with this nature is called The Path of duty; the regulation of this path is called Instruction. The path may not be left for an instant. If it could be left, it would not be the path. On this account, the superior man does not wait till he sees things, to be cautious, nor till he hears things, to be apprehensive. There is nothing more visible than what is secret, and nothing more manifest than what is minute. Therefore the superior man is watchful over himself, when he is alone. While there are no stirrings of pleasure, anger, sorrow, or joy, the mind may be said to be in the state of Equilibrium. When those feelings have been stirred, and they act in their due degree, there ensues what may be called the state of Harmony. This Equilibrium is the great root from which grow all the human actings in the world, and this Harmony is the universal path which they all should pursue. Let the states of equilibrium and harmony exist in perfection, and a happy order will prevail throughout heaven and earth, and all things will be nourished and flourish.

  • The Body in Packaging Culture: Researching Cosmetic Surgery Within Korea’S Neo-Confucian Culture
    The Body in Packaging Culture: Researching Cosmetic Surgery within Korea’s Neo-Confucian Culture By Eunji Choi Submitted to Utrecht University Graduate Gender Studies Program Main Supervisor: Prof. dr. Anne-Marie Korte Support Supervisor: Dr. Mark Johnson Utrecht, The Netherlands 2015 The Body in Packaging Culture: Researching Cosmetic Surgery within Korea’s Neo-Confucian Culture By Eunji Choi Submitted to Utrecht University Graduate Gender Studies Program Main Supervisor: Prof. dr. Anne-Marie Korte Support Supervisor: Dr. Mark Johnson Approved by: Utrecht, The Netherlands 2015 2 Abstract Contemporary developments within the current global self-care regime have increased the potential of many individuals to control their own bodies, and to have their bodies surveilled by others (Shilling, 2003). The body is understood as a project that needs to be “worked at and accomplished as part of an individual’s self-identity” (Shilling, 2003:4) in this time of ‘high modernity’ (Giddens, 1991). The project of cosmetic surgery is one example of how modern individuals attribute significance both to their bodies and the way their bodies look. In a South Korean context, the cosmetic surgery scene is especially interesting to examine in the light of the uniquely Korean practice of giving cosmetic surgery as a gift, especially to daughters. Ironically, the body has to remain unaltered from how it has been received at birth according to the Neo-Confucian tradition, which continues to form the ideological base of contemporary Korean society. Moreover, this tradition teaches that inward goodness does not depend upon one’s outer appearance, something that is quite opposite to “popular physiognomic assumptions that the body, especially the face, is a reflection of the self” (Featherstone, 2010:195).

  • A Study of Ch' Eng
    C143 ) A Study of Ch' eng -The Cosmo-ethical Principle in the Confucian Metaphysics of Morality- by Shim, Jae-Ryong* I. Introduction The efforts of some of the modern Confucian scholars seem to turn toward re-establishingConfucian order ~nd harmony with creative en­ thusiasm. They declare that the contribution of Confucianism to the eternal hope of mankind toward realizing the true sense of culture and peace is not to be simply discarded, because the true spirit of Confucianism is nothing but a craving for order and harmony. \\That, then, is the motive to achieye the ideal of Confucianists In their craving for harmony? The answer given from the time of its initiator Confucius himself down to the present is invariably one: ch' eng' (sincerity, truth, or absolute reality). The other key-concepts like hsing b (nature), jen C (humanity or benevolence), li d (principle or rationality) and ch'j e (principle of dynamic creativity or material force), etc. have been cast to incessant trnasformation and faced ups and downs according to the time and situations. The intricate relations and proper places of those key-concepts will be examined later on within the general framework of the Neo-Confucian metaphysics of morality centering around the concept of ch' eng. The purpose of this paper is, first, to trace the ongm and develop- * Assisstant Professor, Department of Philosophy; Seoul National University. mentof the concept ch' eng in the history of Chinese philosophy, and, second, to reconstruct the genuine philosophy of commitment in com­ pliance with the true spirit of Confucianism which is now .

  • Recent Approaches to Confucian Filial Morality1 Forthcoming in Philosophy Compass
    Recent Approaches to Confucian Filial Morality1 Forthcoming in Philosophy Compass Hagop Sarkissian Department of Philosophy The City University of New York Graduate Center | Baruch College ABSTRACT: A hallmark of Confucian morality is its emphasis on duties to family and kin as weighty features of moral life. The virtue of ‘filiality’ or ‘filial piety’ (xiao 孝), for example, is one of the most important in the Confucian canon. This aspect of Confucianism has been of renewed interest recently. On the one hand, some have claimed that, precisely because it acknowledges the importance of kin duties, Confucianism should be seen as an ethics rooted in human nature that remains a viable system of morality today. On the other hand, some have argued that the extreme emphasis on filial duties is precisely the aspect of Confucian moral philosophy that ought to be jettisoned in favor of greater impartialism; without mitigating its emphasis on filial piety, Confucianism risks irrelevance to modern concerns. In this paper, I will outline the nature of filial morality in the Confucian tradition and discuss these recent contributions to the literature.

    THE ORIGINAL I CHING : AN AUTHENTIC TRANSLATION OF THE BOOK OF CHANGES PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Margaret J. Pearson | 256 pages | 10 Sep 2011 | Tuttle Publishing | 9780804841818 | English | Boston, United States The Original I Ching : An Authentic Translation of the Book of Changes PDF Book In the English translation, every effort has been made to preserve Wilhelm's pioneering insight into the spirit of the original. In relation to the human sphere, this shows how the great man brings peace and security to the world through his activity in creating order: "He towers high above the multitude of beings, and all lands are united in peace. He has also made the exceedingly strange decision to incorporate tags in Latin, taken from the early Jesuit translations, which he claims. Expect nothing from your life. Seek Guidance and Wisdom from the Book of Change. Entire chapters are devoted to such vital material as the hosts of the hexagrams, the mutual hexagrams, and the core hexagrams--all barely hinted at in previous versions of the I Ching. Richard Wilhelm, Cary F. The author begins by examining the discovery of the I Ching by the first mythical emperor of China, Fu Xi, a divine being with the body of a serpent. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. The difference between the two translations—the differences among all translations—is apparent if we look at a single hexagram: number 52, called Gen. The I Ching's purpose is universal: to provide good counsel to its users in making decisions during times of change.
