The "Benevolence" is the core value of Confucius' thoughts containing lively details of Confucianism. In history, the interpretations of "Benevolence" were not the same, and these differences present interpreters' ideals and approaches. The "Benevolence" is also the principal axis of the "Concept of Learning Confucianism" by Ma Yifu (1883-1967). He thought that "The Analects of Confucius" should be the programme of the Six Arts, praised highly Confucius' "Philosophy of Benevolence," disclosed the steps of "Fulfillment Work for Benevolence," stressed the importance of holding "Respect," and pointed out that the "Fulfillment Works for Benevolence" should be the structural elements of "Benevolence." Moreover, he elected Yen Yuan to be the model, proposed specific basis for "Learning Confucianism," and tried to reconstruct humanistic values and contents of Confucianism in accordance with the time and environment. The study hopes not only to analyze Mr. Ma's interpretation for "Benevolence" and explore his approach proposals for the unity of substance and function, but also to discourse the importance and modern meanings of "Benevolence" in the system of his thoughts to demonstrate the diachronic significances and constant values of Confucius' Benevolence. Two issues are focused on primarily: 1. How did Ma Yifu interpret "Benevolence"? 2. What is the fulfillment work for Benevolence in Ma Yifu's thoughts? |
