| Summary: | 博士 === 輔仁大學 === 哲學系 === 102 === The purpose of this dissertation is to figure out where Qi region Legalism came from and how it impacted the following Legalism in Prior Qin Dynasty. It's believed that there was one school of Legalism in Qi region who claimed “rule by law” and “law comes from Tao”. In addition, emperor should learn objectivity, and fairness from “Tao”, realize “public is key component in governance”, and grow his way to administer a country by “public” and “law”.
In the following chapters, I will prove that there is indeed Qi region Legalism in Prior Qin Dynasty. According to historical study, geography, it showed that nature resource, commercial trade and kingcraft provided nutrients to grow Qi region Legalism. Based on Guanzi, I will deduce there is a systematic evolvement of Law concepts in Qi region Legalism. To explain Qi Legalists thought, I will discuss “Tao”, ”De”, “Li”, “Shu”, and “Shih”, which are major philosophical concepts of Guanzi,
In the end, there is brief conclusion how Qi region Legalism impacted Han Feizi.
