Summary

One of my core arguments in previous chapters has been that the different modes of Confucian virtue politics advanced by Mencius and Xunzi (virtue constitutionalism versus ritual constitutionalism in particular and negative Confucianism versus positive Confucianism to a lesser degree) are closely connected with the classical Confucians’ contrasting accounts of human nature and moral self-cultivation.
