儒敎의 國家倫理 ─‘공동체적 자아론’과 ‘도덕적 공동체론’을 중심으로─

Abstract

To demonstrate with accuracy of what the theory of the state in confucianism is in terms of modern state is very difficult. But like most other fundamental discussion confucianism concerning with its original idea and thought may give us much of critical mind of the modern theory of the state. In this thesis I treated of 'ontologic characteristic of communal self' and 'ethics of moral community' of confucianism. First, I displayed 'communal self' consisting of ontology of confucian theory of the state. Displaying the theory of self of confucianism the most prominent figure is 'communal self'. Confucian scholars found the characteristics of human being in the communal self and stressed 'humanity' as common moral nature which a human should has. So 'humanity' is the true character of the nation, communal self. Next, I dealt with the confucianism ethics of moral community. With the basic virtue of confucianism, 'justice' I studied the identity of the confucian states and with 'filial piety' the duty of the subject and the ruler. And focussing on the idea of the principles of royalty and the righteous government I discussed 'what state should be a confucian nation' and 'how should be ruled a confucian nation'.
