| Research Abstract |
The discourse of Confucianism had a substantial influence as a universal "language" to discuss social rule/unity and cultivation of one's mind in East Asia. This study, by contrasting/comparing among various types of individual discourse in its formation process, attempts to clarify how and through what process the discourse of Confucianism had come to bear social meaning and laid the foundation for understanding human-beings in Sung Dynasty of China and Early Edo Period in Japan. To explore this further, this study has also developed a novel subject area of study, i.e. "Kundoku ( Japanese reading of Chinese Classics)" Theory, from the perspective of how Confucian texts were "read" in practice and body and soul of the contemporaries enriched. In parallel the Doctrine of the Mean of the Chinese Classics was highlighted in order to clarify how in a variety of manners it can be interpreted.
