인간본성과 그 함양 : 맹자와 순자를 중심으로 = A theory on cultivation of human nature and Mind - Mencius and Xunzi -

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study proposes to demonstrate that Xunzi's human nature(性) and Mind(心) contains a trait of Meta-praxis and its theoretical structure has a logical, or twofold relationship with each other. A trait of Meta-praxis is found in the cultivation of human nature and mind, which are derived from Heaven(天) as a metaphysical criterion. I believe that a ritual(禮) is a concept as totality and has an important role as meditation between Heaven and human a in the Xunzi.
First, Xunzi argues that the Heaven is related on human nature. Generally, most researchers conclude that Xunzi's Heaven is not a metaphysical concept but a physical one(自然天). The Heaven in the Xunzi, however, is non-physical because of non-shape(無形). In addition, the human nature is derived from Heaven. The term 'Heaven' means a concept as a logical assumption, and Xunzi argues that it is 'miraculous'.
If so, why did Xunzi argue "xing e(性惡)"? The term 'e(惡)' do not mean that human nature is tendency for only evil. Xunzi's 'e' is applicable to 'feeling' and 'desire'. According to Xunzi, human body is insufficient as communicational meditation. Therefore Xunzi argues that human being realizes the human nature related to the Heaven and self-insufficiency of body.
Finally, Xunzi proposes that a man must perform a ritual. This is related to Education and politics. Xunzi believes that performing a ritual is the only way to elucidate Confucius' theory in Lunyu(論語). This is because a ritual is related to twofold structure. Xunzi's cultivation theory, therefore, needs to demonstrate a traditional Confucian meta-praxis.
