| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of the study is twofold. First, it proposes to understand the situation in interpreting of Hanfei Tzu (295?BC~233BC) .And second, by this study, based upon a analysis on his works, I try to establish up the foundation for interpreting of Hanfei’s thought with a developmental view. There are three kinds of way in interpreting Hanfei: first of all, to do it by taking a historical approach; secondly, interpreting it by notifying and at the basis of the characteristic of the language in his time. And thirdly, differently from the general way of understanding Hanfei, taking a developing view to interpret his thought. In methodology, this study refers to the above ways, but in the main part of this dissertation, I especially focus on the third way. However, differently from the two scholars who have taken such a way, I will first make an analysis deeply into Hanfei’s basic concern, (corresponding to it, he made his claims,) in each of his works, and his main concepts, and then, organize them according to the discursive change in Hanfei’s basic concerns and ideas. My conclusion is that there is a big developmental change between young Hanfei and mature Hanfei in basic concern and thoguht. The young Hanfei is basically effected by the thought of Huang-Lao Daoism and, under the influence, to think about the leadership and ruling problem, and the political ideal. And, the mature Hanfei, on the other hand, holds “Ren-Shi-Wei-Jhi” (fully actualizing the ruler’s extremly political power being the only way to effectively rule a country—except it, nothing, including education and culture, is valuable and helpful for ruling ) as the ruling and political ideal on the consciousness of the importance of political power and position. | en_US |
