Resumo: Confucianism and Legalism are not only the two most influential ideological schools in pre-Qin China but also the main schools of thought in ancient Chinese intellectual history. This is due to their respective social nature and contrasting political values. In Pre-Qin Confucianism, rooted in the belief in the innate goodness of human nature, there is a strong emphasis on the significance of historical traditions. It promotes values such as benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom, and seeks to redefine “Rite” by incorporating new values. It places great importance on the rule of virtue and aspires to achieve a state of Universal Harmony. Pre-Qin Legalism, driven by the inherent human inclination towards self-interest and personal gain, formulates a governance philosophy grounded in utilitarianism. It prioritizes the present and advocates for profound transformations through the implementation of strict “law” to attain national prosperity and military strength. As a result, ancient China formed different traditions of the rule of virtue and law, laying the foundation for the complementary nature of Confucianism and Legalism. This article analyzes the factors of differentiation and the process of integration in Confucian and legalist political philosophy, aiming to provide insights into the construction of contemporary political philosophical systems.

Esto se debe a su respectiva naturaleza social y a sus valores políticos contrapuestos. En el confucianismo anterior a Qin, arraigado en la creencia en la bondad innata de la naturaleza humana, se hace mucho hincapié en la importancia de las tradiciones históricas. Promueve valores como la benevolencia, la rectitud, el decoro y la sabiduría, y trata de redefinir el “rito” incorporando nuevos valores. Concede gran importancia al imperio de la virtud y aspira a alcanzar un estado de Armonía Universal. El Legalismo Pre-Qin, impulsado por la inherente inclinación humana hacia el interés propio y el beneficio personal, formula una filosofía de gobierno basada en el utilitarismo. Prioriza el presente y aboga por profundas transformaciones mediante la aplicación de una “ley” estricta para alcanzar la prosperidad nacional y la fuerza militar. Como resultado, la antigua China formó diferentes tradiciones del imperio de la virtud y la ley, sentando las bases de la naturaleza complementaria del confucianismo y el legalismo. Este artículo analiza los factores de diferenciación y el proceso de integración en la filosofía política confuciana y legalista, con el objetivo de aportar ideas para la construcción de los sistemas filosóficos políticos contemporáneos.O confucionismo e o legalismo não são apenas as duas escolas ideológicas mais influentes na China pré-Qin, mas também as principais escolas de pensamento na história intelectual chinesa antiga. Isto se deve à sua respectiva natureza social e valores políticos contrastantes. No confucionismo pré-Qin, enraizado na crença na bondade inata da natureza humana, há uma forte ênfase no significado das tradições históricas. Promove valores como benevolência, retidão, propriedade e sabedoria, e procura redefinir o “Rito” incorporando novos valores. Dá grande importância ao governo da virtude e aspira alcançar um estado de Harmonia Universal. O Legalismo Pré-Qin, impulsionado pela inclinação humana inerente ao interesse próprio e ao ganho pessoal, formula uma filosofia de governação baseada no utilitarismo. Prioriza o presente e defende transformações profundas através da implementação de “lei” rigorosa para alcançar a prosperidade nacional e a força militar. Como resultado, a China antiga formou diferentes tradições do Estado de virtude e da lei, lançando as bases para a natureza complementar do Confucionismo e do Legalismo. Este artigo analisa os fatores de diferenciação e o processo de integração na filosofia política confucionista e legalista, com o objetivo de fornecer insights sobre a construção dos sistemas filosóficos políticos contemporâneos.Faculdade de Filosofia e Ciências2024-01-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlapplication/x-mobipocket-ebookapplication/epub+ziphttps://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/transformacao/article/view/14845TRANS/FORM/AÇÃO: Revista de Filosofia da Unesp; v. 47 n. 4 (2024): Pensamento oriental; e0240042TRANS/FORM/AÇÃO: Revista de Filosofia; Vol. 47 No. 4 (2024): Eastern thought; e0240042TRANS/FORM/AÇÃO: Revista de Filosofia; Vol. 47 Núm. 4 (2024): Pensamiento oriental; e0240042TRANS/FORM/AÇÃO: Revista de Filosofia; Vol. 47 No. 4 (2024): Pensée orientale; e0240042TRANS/FORM/AÇÃO: Revista de Filosofia; V. 47 N. 4 (2024): Pensiero orientale; e02400421980-539X0101-3173reponame:Trans/Form/Ação (Online)instname:Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)instacron:UNESPenghttps://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/transformacao/article/view/14845/15550https://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/transformacao/article/view/14845/15551https://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/transformacao/article/view/14845/15552https://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/transformacao/article/view/14845/15553Copyright (c) 2023 TRANS/FORM/AÇÃO: Revista de Filosofia da Unesphttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLiu, Dongwang2024-01-24T17:56:42Zoai:ojs.revistas.marilia.unesp.br:article/14845Revistahttps://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/transformacao/PUBhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phptransformacao@marilia.unesp.br1980-539X0101-3173opendoar:2024-01-24T17:56:42Trans/Form/Ação (Online) - Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)false
