The theory of Xuncius means the research of Xuncius and his thought, and it is an ever-span-new topic in the history of Chinese Confucianism. This paper researches Xuncius and his thoughts with “Educational Philosophy” as its starting point and it is new viewing angle; On one hand, the educational philosophy has a long discipline pre-history in China, however, its development as an independent subject in China only started in 1919. “Educational Philosophy” is an interdisciplinary subject of philosophy and pedagogy, i.e, it refers to systematically understanding and valuably questioning the essential issues in education theory and general rules in the practice philosophically (with philosophical points of view and methods); it emphasizes on philosophical clear discrimination and careful reflection, as well as educational theories and practices. On the other hand, the theory of Xuncius is great and profound, and it deals with philosophy, ethics, pedagogy and logistics and other subjects. The book of Xuncius starts with “On learning”, it presents not only the effort of Xuncius on changing one’s life and reforming the society, and it also performs the deep explanation and introspection to the orientation of education, human progression and social development; it shows the great ambition of Confucian scholars of realizing inner sageliness and outer kingliness by “Cultivating and Educating persons and society”. This essay has six chapters and its main contents are as the following.
Chapter One: Introduction. By analyzing the development of modern educational philosophy and the formation of education philosophy of Xuncius, it introduces the research object of the essay. Furthermore, by sorting out the relevant news and achievements of the academic circle, it raises the thinking thread for research of the essay with “the research on educational philosophy of Xuncius” as its subject. At the same time, it also narrates the research purpose and method of this essay.
Chapter Two: The base of learning - with the though of discrimination as prerequisite. “Discrimination” is the base of learning, i.e, the philosophical foundation of education. Xuncius explained the thoughts of “the discrimination of heaven and people”, “the discrimination of real and pseudo-nature” and “the discrimination of thought and outer objects” and constructed the foundation of his educational philosophy with “discrimination” as their prerequisites.
Chapter Three: The routine of learning with the thought of rites as its core. Rites is regarded as “the routine of learning”, i.e, the main way of education, that is to say, with rites as core and by explaining the thoughts of “chanting classical works and reading books on rites”, “combination of learning and thinking” and “the education of teachers and rules”, Xuncius has explained the way of educational philosophy (the content, method and procedure of learning).
Chapter Four: The experiencing of learning: with the thought of sage as the standard. The sage is the experiencer of learning, i.e, the important verifier of education. With the sage as the standard, Xuncius explained the thought of “learning to become a person”, “learning knowledge by categories” and “learning to practice” and pointed out the verification of educational philosophy.
Chapter Five: The extreme of learning: with the thought of commune as its purpose. “Commune” is the extreme of learning, i.e, the final destination of education; by explaining the thoughts of “people of one mind fall into the same group”, “the clear discrimination makes commune” and “the people in one commune should live harmoniously”, Xuncius defined the destination of educational philosophy.
Chapter Six: Conclusion. It explains the triple dimensions of the research on education philosophy of Xuncius. At the same time, it also raises some shortcoming in this essay for the further research in future.
