AB - This study explores the concept of the “individual” as found in major works related to ancient Confucian philosophy. Any debate over the merits of the concepts of modern and post-modern philosophy must inevitably include the individual. This concept also plays a central role in other debates, including those related to the notions of Asian values and an East Asian Community. The attachment of any true significance to this massive undertaking is predicated on preliminary attempts to conceptualize the “individual” reflected in the various contexts of Asian philosophy that constitute the foundation of the myriad of thoughts found in East Asian society. Based on this particular approach to the matter, this study analyzes the “individual” as exhibited in the early Confucian philosophical works that formed the foundation of traditional East Asian thought. This study pays particularly close attention to the concepts of the individual found in the Confucian Analects, from which the precursive notions that constitute the main concepts of Chinese and East Asian philosophy flow. Special attention is paid to “self-construction achieved through practicing the self.” More to the point, based on bibliographies of early Confucian philosophy such as Mencius and Xunzi, this study seeks to deduce the implications of the definition of the concept of the “individual” as a “self-construction achieved through practicing the self.”
