The object of Neo-Confucian theory of Zhong-He(中和) is that realization of
moral life through control of emotion and desire. This thesis investigate the
subject and contents of Wang-shouren(王守仁) and Dai-zhen(戴震)’s theory of
Zhong-He, and compare with ‘internal difference’ and ‘external common’ of
both philosopher. Wang’s theory regard internal emotion and moral practice as
the unity of Substance(體) and Phenomenon(用). His theory approved ‘ruled
people’ as subject of moral practice, and have a goal to govern their desire and
emotion. Dai consider Zhu-xi(朱熹) and Wang’s theory of Zhong-He as
dogmatism which is concentrated on the inner. Dai reconstructed theory of
Zhong-He, from the harmony of Internal Emotin to the location of External
Being. He attempted that communication and harmony of desire of many social
groups. Though internal difference of subject and direction of both philosophers,
‘external common’ of them is summarized as keyword of ‘Monistic’,
‘Individuality’, ‘Ordinary’. External common of them was originated in the
response of historical common situation of them. An ideological relation of both
philosopher is not confrontation, and have a feature of critical succession.
