Perspective of Confucian Relational Ethics from Yangming's Philosophy of Mind
Confucian relational ethics has always faced the challenge of"Confucian dilemma".Its relational ethics is self-centered and lacks a universal dimension,making it difficult to adapt to modern social rela-tional ethics.However,from Yangming's philosophy of Mind of"ZhizhiGewu",we may find a way to de-cipher the"Confucian dilemma"of Confucian relational ethics."Conscience"is the basis of the moral re-lationship between self and others.After clarifying their own conscience,the moral subject uses"Ge wu"to unmask others who have not yet clarified"Conscience"in the relationship world,thus promoting the harmony and unity of self and others,and finally reached the"ultimate goodness."
