RELATIONSHIP AND INSTITUTION: A THEORETICAL INTERPRETATION FRAMEWORK FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF CHINESE POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY
Abstract
China’s way of doing things is the typical East way, which is the group-
based thinking, paying attention to people-oriented, focusing on “people”
in dealing with things, having strong interpersonal relationships, and
strong flexibility. The management of the West countries adopt the
dichotomy method of thinking, which is unclear. All of them are governed
by law, in accordance with institution management, without flexibility. For
them, interpersonal relationships are weak, but with clear division of
labor, powerful checks and balances, as well as clear rights and
obligations. Because of the different social forms of the East and West
countries and different social situations, China and other Eastern
countries have paid more attention to the overall relationship, while
Western countries have focused on the individual and specific issues of
independence. This paper analyzes the Eastern and Western cultures
based on the genetic differences between the East and the West. Starting
from the group standard of the eastern countries and the individual
standard of the western countries, the differences between the eastern and
western cultures are analyzed from the philosophical levelChina’s way of doing things is the typical East way, which is the group- based thinking, paying attention to people-oriented, focusing on “people” in dealing with things, having strong interpersonal relationships, and strong flexibility.
