ABSTRACT:
This study focuses on the state of “wu 惡” (loathing) in Mencius’s conception xiu wu zhi xin 羞惡之心 (the heart/mind of embarrassment and loathing) and attempts to analyse why Mencius picks out wu as one of the feelings that indicate the presence of goodness in us. I will first consider the contrast between liking or feeling neutral about the bad on one hand and loathing the bad on the other. The contrast should make it vivid that we need to invoke modality to understand why loathing the bad is good. It is only when one is capable of loathing the bad that we can tell that one likes what is good. Then, I will address whether the presence of loathing always indicates something good. I will argue that loathing can only be elicited when one thinks that something is bad. Loathing cannot be taken toward something that one thinks is neutral – neither bad nor good. Hence, those who loathe are already attracted to what is good. The final section considers the connection of the proposed interpretation of wu with xiu (embarrassment) and discusses its implications for our understanding of shame (broadly construed) in Mencius’s thought.
