理想 政治의 前提, 儒家思想에 나타난 君子

Abstract

Recently the word ‘national status’ is mentioned by people frequently. That means countries also have status like personality and dignity. If so how national status was created? The national status is country’s culture that made from personality and dignity of citizen. At this moment moralists lead creating personality and dignity of people, at the same time they become a barometer of presenting national status. But capitalistic societies concatenate it with mostly material riches such as national income, hosting Olympic Games, high buildings of city, high annual salary, good house and car. However, it does not directly related to national status and personality. Rather, it makes human relationship become unfriendly and cold-hearted. And also the relationship between human and nature is changing to exploitation, destruction and vicious cycle. By looking back this kind of phenomenon, it is the outcome of education that focuses on logic of political and economical, Instead of oriental thought and philosophy that emphasis on importance of psychological richness. It is true that oriental thought also thinks important about the basic problem of human‘s life such as eating and living. But the decision that only considers economical logic without thinking justice, benevolence and virtue involves risk of exploitation, so it is not desirable. The best society in Confucian ideology is society of great unity. It is the society that everybody deserves. The qualification of accomplishing this kind of society is true moralist, because it is difficult to realize the society of great unity with only man of small character. Nowadays modern politics cannot be same with politics that Confucian ideology controlled past, but modern politics can refer it. The preceding research contemplates moralist as complete human being morally, but the research that considers moralist as premise for society of great unity is few. Therefore, this report considers about moralist that must be exist for the ideal politics. So the contents are mainly about Mencius and also search about Moralist’s lineament that appears in Confucian ideology accessorily.
