| Summary: | This paper makes a comparative study of the theory of heavenly principles and human desires in the Neo-Confucianism of the Song and Ming Dynasties and the theory of personality structure in psychoanalytic theory. From the perspective of the construction of the subject, in the debate between the heavenly principle and the human desire, the person is built into the moral subject. The id, ego, and super-ego in the psychoanalytic theory constitute the unconscious structural subject. In the framework of these two theories, the "maintain the heavenly principles and eradicate human desires" and "the heavenly principles exist in desire" in the theory of heavenly principles and human desires express the unity of opposites between heavenly principles and human desire. The core of personality structure theory is the relationship of obedience and control among the id, ego, and super-ego. As far as the value orientation is concerned, the debate between the heavenly principle and the human desire provides a theoretical basis for the moral practice of Confucianism of "aim at absolute perfection", while the free will of the id in the unconscious subject is the most essential ethical aspect of psychoanalysis. |
