The article aims at comparing Tang Jun-yi and Mou Tsung-San
interpretations of Zhuzi’s philosophical system, and exploring the
possibility of reconciliating the differences of them. Due to different
approaches, angles, methods and etc. , the difference between Tang
and Mou seems to be irreconcilable. Mou proposes Zhuzi’s system is
a system of heteronomy, while Tang argues it is a system of
autonomy. The difference between the two great philosophers are
surely controversial and intense, and thus full of inspiration. The
interpretation by the two thus is to be reckoned with for those who
desire to understand Zhuzi’s thoughts. The article shall demonstrate
the process of thoughts of Tang and Mou, and the controversies
related to two possible types of Zhuzi’s system. Moreover, it is
expected to interpret Zhuzi’s system with teleology, in order to make
an attempt in solving the disagreement between Mou and Tang. This
leads to reflection on Zhuzi’s place in the history of philosophy.
