The Liji and a tragic theory of ritual
This article will draw from three parts of the Liji 《禮記》 in an attempt to construct an early Confucian theory of ritual. This theory, in short, depicts a tragic consciousness experienced in ritual performance where ritual agents cope with vulnerability, ambiguity, and rupture with the past. In constructing this theory, I will refer to and build on a larger project that I published as a book entitled The Dysfunction of Ritual in Early Confucianism…
All about the Rites: From Canonised Ritual to Ritualised Society
This third volume of the “Myriades d’Asies” series is the result of an international conference which was held at the Collège de France in 2018, and published in book form by Hémisphères Editions in 2021, the present digital edition being a revised and improved version of the printed edition. It intends to look afresh at the way ancient China progressively evolved into a ritualistic society, that is a world in which social interactions in times o…
The Invulnerability of Integrity
This chapter examines arguments for invulnerability made by contemporary interpreters working with Confucian material. It begins by situating discourses of invulnerability within the broader field of philosophical ethics. In these discussions, the vulnerability or invulnerability of integrity often falls under the rubric of value conflicts, moral remainder (or residue or distress), and dirty hands. This chapter begins with an overview of this dis…
The Invulnerability of Integrity
This chapter looks at arguments for the invulnerability of integrity as articulated by early Confucians and later Confucian interpreters. It begins by sketching out a tension found throughout the early literature: namely, a conflict between desiring to transform society and desiring to maintain one’s integrity. This conflict occurs in situations where transforming society entails colluding with immoral leaders in government or otherwise violating…
Irresolvable Value Conflicts in a Conflictual World
This chapter reveals that early Confucians saw irresolvable value conflicts as real possibilities. It starts with an overview of the ways in which contemporary scholars have described Confucianism in terms of harmony and the lack of tragedy. It then challenges these narratives by looking at several vignettes that depict moral agents confronting irresolvable value conflicts. This chapter also analyzes the notion of tragedy in an early Confucian wo…
The Sorrow of Regret
This chapter and the next chapter describe the role of regret in early Confucian thought. In light of the previous two chapters, this chapter demonstrates that moral distress in early Confucian texts is best understood in terms of regret. The chapter begins by characterizing regret with regard to sorrow, resentment, and a longing for things to be otherwise and then demonstrates the ways in which the moral agent sorrows over his inability to tend …
Regret, Resentment, and Transgression
This chapter builds on the previous chapter by further exploring regret as it relates to resentment and transgression. Specifically, this chapter challenges the dominant understanding of resentment in Confucian thought. It argues that, from an early Confucian perspective, resentment is a sign that we require the care of significant others and that we are vulnerable to their concern or neglect. The chapter then connects resentment with frustrated …
The Conflictual World of the Sages
This chapter explores irresolvable value conflicts with regard to sages. It begins with portrayals of early sages such as Yao and Shun as compromised figures in a broad array of early Chinese texts. This serves as a context for understanding how early Confucians stressed the virtuous nature of sages on the one hand and accepted portions of the broader discourse of compromise on the other. To illustrate this the chapter looks more closely at the c…
The Vulnerability of Integrity
This chapter begins with a description of the Confucian self and then discusses the porous nature of this self with regard to the connections and boundaries that are seen to exist between the individual and others. The majority focuses on integrity, which is explained in terms of de 德 . The notion of de 德 highlights the charismatic aspects of integrity such that integrity in an early Confucian context is understood as a power to motivate others t…
Conclusion
This conclusion discusses the value of vulnerability. Expanding on the description of vulnerability provided in the introduction, it articulates a Confucian account of vulnerability that adds to the conversation in three ways: (a) it foregrounds the notion of vulnerability as an essential characteristic of human beings; (b) it stresses that vulnerability is good in instrumental and intrinsic ways (instrumentally it enables values such as morality…
The Vulnerability of Integrity in Early Confucian Thought
The Vulnerability of Integrity in Early Confucian Thought is about the necessity, and even value, of vulnerability in human experience. In this book, Michael Ing brings early Chinese texts into dialogue with questions about the ways in which meaningful things are vulnerable to powers beyond our control; and more specifically, how relationships with meaningful others might compel tragic actions.Vulnerability is often understood as an undesirable s…
Two Virtuous Actions Cannot both be Completed: Rethinking Value Conflicts in Early Confucian Thought
This essay highlights an alternative tradition of understanding value conflicts in early Confucian thought. In contrast to a prominent position among interpreters that argues for the resolvability or harmonization of conflicting values, I argue that some early Confucians conceptualized value conflicts as irresolvable. In other words, when meaningful aspects of a situation come into tension with each other and values are threatened to be either le…
Philosophy in Western Han Dynasty China (206 BCE-9 CE)
The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that there are ample resources in the English-speaking academic community to enable philosophers who cannot read Chinese to work with material from the Western Han dynasty in their research or teaching. It discusses three kinds of resources, with the aim of developing a community of philosophers engaged in a sustained conversation about Western Han thought. These resources are (1) histories that descr…
