儒家的异端 ： 试析李贽思想与儒家学说的共通点 = An analysis of the similarity between Lizhi’s thoughts and Confucianism by 刘佑勋 Liew, Youxun

“…Having described the common role of Confucianism as an authoritative form of order under the context of a traditional China’s society, I would like to point out the corrupted nature of the Ming dynasty’s imperial court（明代朝廷、明代官学）, which took advantage of the above mentioned Confucian Ethics for its own benefits, whilst compromising the welfare of its commoners.In response to this, Li Zhi（李贽） advocated the discourse on the topic of “genuine human nature”（自然之性）, which not only emphasized the significance of retaining a pure, genuine and untainted form of human nature, but also criticized the “pseudo-moralists”（明代伪道学家） along with the corrupted imperial court for tainting and restricting the genuine nature of humanity, in the name of upholding the Confucian Ethics. …”
