순자의 예치와 한비자의 법치

Abstract

The Confucian scholars who lived in the age of Warring States would be met the need of the time. Xunzi was the one of the confusianist that acceded to meet the period’s demand. The other way about Mencius(孟子), Xunzi was the actualist. In social upheaval, peoples sincerely hope their state will keep peace. Xunzi insisted that there is need the institution for closing of the disorder. But Mencius claimed to need king’s moral. Xunzi granted the institution of the near-past-king(文·武王) but the past king(堯·舜), because that was more clear than this. That was referred to as Li. Xunzi thought that the Li played on important part of the disorder. Hanfeizi was a pupil of Xunzi. He upheld the idea of Xunzi, and was regrouped. He suggested the Fa that was the law to give the prize or penalty for one’s duty. China was brought under a single authority on the basis of the idea of Fa.
