The Logic and Duality of Shang Yang’s Political Thoughts

Abstract

Abstract: Natural Humanity Theory is the foundation of Shang Yang’s Political Thoughts. With regard to human, the nature refers to the reality of human being’s selfishness. Shang Yang held that Confucianism was useless, not enough to govern the country and argued for the necessity to rule by law. His thoughts developed from evil human nature, useless humanity to modernized governance by law. The political thoughts of Shang Yang had the rational nation-oriented value but could not escape the plight of the monarchy-centered value popular in the ancient Chinese feudal autocratic system. Even so, Shang Yang’s political thoughts would bring some inspiration and enlightenment to China’s legal system construction today.

Key words: Shang Yang, natural human nature, logic, duality
