Abstract Mou Zongsan uses the highest moral principle autonomy to interpret Confucius benevolence and Mencius inherent benevolence and righteousness , focuses on the self-rule of the will. It does not do any harm to Mencius learning, on the contrary, it is conducive to the communication between Chinese and Western philosophies. If we stick to Kant s moral self autonomy and apply it to interpreting Zhu Xi s moral theory, similarly we will discover the implications of Zhu Xi s autonomy in his moral learning. Therefore, it is inappropriate for Mou Zongsan to say that Zhu Xi s ethics belongs to the autonomous one.
