However, this new perspective still awaits further development due to the scarcity of textual sources and other empirical evidence in pre-Qin history. In the interests of specifying and substantiating historical Confucian views about political legitimacy and rebellion, this article focuses on a unique case called “Shuwu’s Tragedy” from Zuozhuan and Gongyangzhuan with a rich corpus of Neo-Confucian commentaries and debates on a minister’s “right” to denounce the monarch for brutality. Shuwu was a virtuous prince of the state of Wey who temporarily assumed the monarchical duties of his fleeing elder brother, Duke Cheng of Wey, and he successfully resolved a military conflict with the state of Jin in 632 BCE. However, Duke Cheng murdered Shuwu when Shuwu planned to return the throne to him. Wey’s minister, Yuan Xuan, thus escaped from Wey and accused Duke Cheng in front of the hegemon, Duke Wen of Jin, which eventually triggered further bloody killings and chaos in Wey’s court and family. After reviewing the Neo-Confucian commentaries, I argue that Shuwu’s case strongly supports Tiwald’s new thesis on Mencius’ “right of rebellion”. Furthermore, I discuss a fundamental question in Mencius’ political ethics: which takes priority, chastening the tyrant or restoring order?"},{"@xml:lang":"sl","#text":"Justin Tiwaldova reinterpretacija Mencijeve »pravice do upora« kot moralnega okvira, ki je kritičen do tiranskih oblik vladanja in stoji nasproti »odprtemu mehanizmu za upore od spodaj navzgor«, je bila sprejeta in podprta v nedavnih razmišljanjih številnih teoretikov in teoretičark. Vseeno pa ta nova perspektiva še vedno čaka na nadaljnji razvoj zaradi pomanjkanja besedilnih virov in drugega empiričnega gradiva iz obdobja pred dinastijo Qin. Da bi natančneje opredelili in utemeljili zgodovinska konfucijanska stališča o politični legitimnosti ter uporu, se članek osredotoča na edinstveni primer, imenovan »Shuwujeva tragedija«, iz del Zuozhuan in Gongyangzhuan, ki vsebujeta bogat korpus neokonfucijanskih komentarjev ter razprav o »pravici« ministra, da obsodi monarha zaradi krutosti. Shuwu je bil krepostni princ države Wey, ki je začasno prevzel monarhove dolžnosti svojega pobeglega starejšega brata, vojvode Chenga iz Weya, in leta 632 pr. n. št. uspešno razrešil vojaški spopad z državo Jin. Kljub temu je vojvoda Cheng umoril Shuwuja, ko mu je ta nameraval vrniti prestol. Yuan Xuan, minister države Wey, je zato pobegnil in obtožil vojvodo Chenga pred hegemonom, vojvodo Wenom iz Jina, kar je na koncu povzročilo nadaljnje krvave poboje ter kaos na dvoru in v družini Wey. Po pregledu neokonfucijanskih komentarjev trdim, da Shuwujev primer močno podpira Tiwaldovo novo tezo o Mencijevi »pravici do upora«. Poleg tega pa v članku obravnavam temeljno vprašanje v Mencijevi politični etiki: ali ima prednost kaznovanje tirana ali obnova reda?"}],"edm:type":"TEXT","dc:type":[{"@xml:lang":"sl","#text":"znanstveno časopisje"},{"@xml:lang":"en","#text":"journals"},{"@rdf:resource":"http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q361785"}]},"ore:Aggregation":{"@rdf:about":"http://www.dlib.si/?URN=URN:NBN:SI:doc-0MXCDYDR","edm:aggregatedCHO":{"@rdf:resource":"URN:NBN:SI:doc-0MXCDYDR"},"edm:isShownBy":{"@rdf:resource":"http://www.dlib.si/stream/URN:NBN:SI:doc-0MXCDYDR/45ea34b9-2b48-4a98-a167-f91302d590a4/PDF"},"edm:rights":{"@rdf:resource":"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},"edm:provider":"Slovenian National E-content Aggregator","edm:intermediateProvider":{"@xml:lang":"en","#text":"National and University Library of Slovenia"},"edm:dataProvider":{"@xml:lang":"sl","#text":"Univerza v Ljubljani, Filozofska fakulteta"},"edm:object":{"@rdf:resource":"http://www.dlib.si/streamdb/URN:NBN:SI:doc-0MXCDYDR/maxi/edm"},"edm:isShownAt":{"@rdf:resource":"http://www.dlib.si/details/URN:NBN:SI:doc-0MXCDYDR"}}}}
