Abstract

This chapter explores the differences between the two maxims from static and dynamic perspectives. From a static perspective, this chapter analyses the inner methodology, and the difference lies in the communication canal of these two maxims. Then comes the development process of the two maxims in history. This chapter examines whether both of the maxims experienced the process of from ius privatum to ius publicum, from ius naturale to ius positivum and from religious law to secular law.

    Trans. from Chen (2015), p. 53: “人生必有其相关系之人, 此即天伦;人生将始终在人与人相关系中, 此即伦理。亲切相关之情, 发乎天伦骨肉;乃至一切相关之人莫不自然有其情, 情谊所在, 义务生焉。父义当慈, 子义当孝, 兄之义友, 弟之义恭, 夫妇朋友至一切相关之人莫不自然互有应尽之义。伦理关系即表示一种义务, 一个人撕不为其自己而存在, 而以对方为重。近世之西洋人反是, 处处形见其自己本位主义, 一切从权利观念出发。”.

    Mutschler (2008), pp. 127–128. Mutschler took Wendi (203 BC –157 BC), an emporer of Han Dynasty (206 BC–220 AD), as an example: “Several letters to and from the shan yu, the ruler of the Xiongnu, are quoted in full, whereas the reports on campaigns comprise never more than a few lines.” In contrast, Tacitus was delighted to describe “the campaigns of Germanicus in Germany and blames Tiberius for not being engaged in expanding Rome’s dominion.”

    Paraphrasing trans. by the author. Cf.

However, his views on human nature and the Way of Heaven—these we have never been able to hear!” The Chinese original text is “子贡曰:‘夫子之文章, 可得而闻也;夫子之言星与天道, 不可得而闻也。’“.
