A Kind Of Wisdom Called Weighing And Changing: An Interpretation Of Mencius' Debate On Standard Rules And Their Weighing And Chaning In View Of Life Philosophy
Abstract
Mencius of Distinction by the right includes two contingency wisdom: First, the "radical right wisdom", one "moderate right wisdom." Human nature does not meet the requirements of the ritual practice of the exercise of negative, this contingency is the "radical"; when others do not comply with protocol requirements, and the ceremony by his but then positive approach to exercise, this contingency is the "moderate" of. Thought-provoking, the exercise of the "radical Sense," the costs incurred may sometimes be more "moderate", and the exercise of "moderate right-hui," the cost can sometimes be very "radical". Distinction of the right to live by the philosophy to explain, can provide some wisdom for modern life support In Mencius' debate on standard rules and their weighing and changing, there are two kinds of wisdom of weighing and changing, one of which is radical, and the other of which is clement. By wisdom of radical weighing and changing it's meant we take negative actions when the rules are not conformed with human nature, whereas by wisdom of clement weighing and changing it's meant we take positive actions when anyone else doesn't obey the rules rationally made. The cost of radical weighing and changing may be low while that of clement weighing and changing may be high. An interpretation of standard rules and their weighing and changing in life philosophy can provide some life wisdom for modern people
