Abstract

Abstract Wang Yangming s discussions concerning evil mainly appear in two sets of texts, i.e., Chuanxilu O N`_U(Instructions for Practical Living) and gongyi Qly?(documents transferred to vertically unrelated departments). The former addresses evil in metaphysical terms, and the latter in social terms. These subtly different approaches show the nuance between self-cultivation and governance of others.

Keywords
