Thesis (Ph.D.)--Harvard University, 1984.

The thesis questions the usefulness of the Western term "Confucianism." There are two explorations. First, we analyze four moments in the religio-politico-moral legacy of the Chou Dynasty. Early Chou kings presented an argument for the moral basis (te) of their right to rule. The Duke of Chou argued for the essential role of ministers in assisting a king transmit moral force. Chung-ni (Confucius) gave instruction in the cultivation of moral perfection (jen) through study of the lessons of former kings. Meng Tzu and Hzun Tzu claimed independent responsibility of moral ministers (chun-tzu) to preserve the way of former kings (wang tao). Essentially, what developed was increasingly reflective articulation of the moral ministerial role to instruct rulers as to how former kings demonstrated care and concern for the people.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The thesis questions the usefulness of the Western term "Confucianism." There are two explorations. First, we analyze four moments in the religio-politico-moral legacy of the Chou Dynasty. Early Chou kings presented an argument for the moral basis (te) of their right to rule. The Duke of Chou argued for the essential role of ministers in assisting a king transmit moral force. Chung-ni (Confucius) gave instruction in the cultivation of moral perfection (jen) through study of the lessons of former kings. Meng Tzu and Hzun Tzu claimed independent responsibility of moral ministers (chun-tzu) to preserve the way of former kings (wang tao). Essentially, what developed was increasingly reflective articulation of the moral ministerial role to instruct rulers as to how former kings demonstrated care and concern for the people.
520 $a Second, we probe the original meaning of the term ju. Prior to Chung-ni (Confucius), ju referred to those of ritual and literary (wen) accomplishment who recorded and transmitted the lessons of former kings. In this somewhat pejorative usage, ju meant "non-aggressive, weak." This nickname was given by those in Ch'i to those in Lu. The latter used scholarly (wen) discipline as opposed to military (wu) discipline as a means of perpetuating the Kingly Way.
520 $a We bring these two explorations together in textual analysis of alternative images of ju, Chung-ni, and K'ung Tzu in the Warring States period. At this time there were three overlapping bands of meaning for ju: (1) a derisive characterization of Lu nobles and, by extension, all nobles who held onto the old feudal order through study of books and practice of ritual, both of which perpetuated the legacy of former kings; (2) a name to refer to those exceptionally accomplished in wen hsueh (literary study of the legacy of former kings); (3) a designation for Chung-ni's followers who perpetuated their master's re-definition of ju to refer to those who cultivated jen (benevolence) as essential to wen hsueh. From the point of view of these last, only those of jen were truly ju.
520 $a To conclude, we suggest that the expressions "Kingly Way (wang tao)", "scholars (ju) of the Kingly Way", and "minister-instructors (chun-tzu) of the Kingly Way" be used as English translation rather than the somewhat misleading terms "Confucianism" and "Confucians".
