Abstract

I show that Neo-Confucianism is practiced in two ways: (1) deontologically and (2) as a virtue ethical theory. When fully appreciated, Neo-Confucianism is a virtue ethical theory, but to set out on the path of the sage and behave like a junzi, Neo-Confucianism must first be practiced deontologically. I show this by examining the importance of Neo-Confucian metaphysics to ethical practice and by drawing out the major practical differences between “lesser learning” and “higher learning.” In my view, Neo-Confucianism can be practiced deontologically because some adherents may never move to practicing Neo-Confucianism as a virtue theory.

新儒家德性伦理的义务论基础

我展示了新儒学在两方面的实践:(1)义务论和(2)美德伦理理论。在充分理解的情况下，理学是一种美德伦理理论，但要走上圣贤之路，像君子一样行事，首先必须从道义上实践理学。我通过考察新儒家形而上学对伦理实践的重要性，并通过描绘“低级学问”和“高等学问”之间的主要实践差异来证明这一点。在我看来，新儒学可以在道义上实践，因为一些追随者可能永远不会把新儒学作为一种美德理论来实践。

The journal stands in the general tradition of theistic and personalist humanism without further restriction of school or philosophical orientation, and is open to both the philosophical discussion of contemporary issues and historical studies. It is truly international in scope with contributions from authors around the world and circulation to institutions and individuals in 70 countries. IPQ numbers among its Associate Editors scholars from both the Far East and Europe, and the journal enjoys a long-standing relationship with the Facultés Universitaires Notre-Dame de la Paix in Belgium.
