荀況，又稱荀卿、荀子，是戰國中晚期儒家的代表人物，對儒家學術思想的繼承與發展有其重要貢獻。《荀子》三十二篇反映出荀子對當時政治、社會議題的高度關注，同時也針對當時政治、學術所產生的問題進行嚴謹的批判，其中〈正論篇〉即是針對當時看似持之有故，言之成理，實際上卻是欺惑愚眾的謬說進行駁斥。〈正論篇〉全篇共分九個子題，依其內容又可分為諸子學說、名實問題、政治制度三大類。本文擬以「主道利周」、「太古薄葬」、「見侮不辱」與「人情欲寡」四個涉及諸子學說的子題來進行分析、探討，以彰顯荀況對維護儒家學術的卓越貢獻。 Xun Kuang, also known as Xun Tsing, Xun Zi, a representative of Confucianism in the late warring states period.
