Abstract

This review introdu= ces main perspectives on the text and thought of Xunzi in important Japanese studies= by analyzing problematique and context in which these researches have been produced.

In the early 20^th century, modern = Japanese studies on the Book of Xunzi wa= s set out by incorporating the textual and philosophical study of the western scholarship, and received a great stimulation by Hu Shi, and Yang YunruR= 17;s textual studies which doubted the authenticity or authorship of the large p= art of the text. A series of textual studies conducted by Eiichi Kimura, Osamu Kanaya and Mutsumi Toyoshima repudiated such a notion. However, their resea= rch ironically confirmed that the large part of the extant text can only repres= ent the thought of Xunzi school rat= her than his own. Meanwhile, Toshiro Shigesawa and Chôhachi Itano presented their comprehensive pictures on Xunzi’s philosophical system.

After the Second World War, the various subje= ct in the philosophy of Xunzi attracted keen attentions from Japanese scholarship (e.g., logical thought, human nature, discourse on Heaven etc.). Accordingl= y, a large number of detailed studies on specific topics have been produced duri= ng 1960s and 70s.

After 1980s, the main focus of Japanese schol= ars has gradually changed from the topic on Xunzi’s philosophy itself into th= at on the origin and context which facilitated it. As is shown in the research= by Shinichirô Watanabe and Hirotsugu Sugamoto, a close influential relationship between Legalism, so-called the Jixia Academy and the formation Xunzi’s socio-political theory has been suggested.
