Exploration and Enlightenment on Chinization of Humanism Thought of China＇s Bourgeoisie
Tan Peiwen
Abstract： As a proposition with special connotation, the Chinization of Marxist humanism thought was gradually formed in the 1990s. However, this does not mean there was no Chinization of humanism thought during China＇s bourgeois revolution before the time. The humanism thought of China＇s bourgeois revolution, with Sun Yat-sen as a representative, is the combination of western humanitarianism thought and bourgeois-democratic revolution in China. The Chinization process of bourgeois humanism thought can be classified as the early publicity, communication, critic, filter and reform of western humanitarian thought. Sun Yat-sen emphasized on people＇s livelihood and proposed democratic politics, rejected selfishness and regarded the whole world as one community, which enrich the people-oriented connotation and provide important reference for China during its construction of a socialist and harmonious society.

SPECIAL ISSUE： EXAMINING THE DEATH PENALTY IN CHINAIntroduction

The amount of thought given to the death penalty is almost equal to that which the entire field of humanities and social science has expended on life itself, and shows no signs of flagging. The question may be formulated as a purely philosophical one, but it has also drawn the attention of political scientists. Naturally, it is also an important legal issue.Papers presented in this special issue on the death penalty cover both substantive and procedural law. In ＂On the ＇Criterion＇ of Proof in Capital Cases and the Revision of the Code of Criminal Procedure,＂ Professor Wang Minyuan discusses the trial hearing from the perspective of the Criminal Procedure Law, arguing that whether a capital case meets the most rigorous requirements for proof is the basic standard by which its quality should be measured and the key to solving quality problems in capital cases. In ＂The Death Penalty and Human Rights,＂ Professor Chen Zhonglin reflects upon the legitimacy of the death penalty from the perspective of substantive law, and emphasizes the need for a correct understanding of the conditions for application of the death sentence and the suspended death sentence stipulated in the Criminal Law of China.

SPECIAL ISSUE： RECONSTRUCTING THE GENEALOGY OF CONFUCIANISM： XUN ZI＇S THOUGHT AND HIS HISTORICAL IMAGEIntroduction

Xun Zi （c. 336 BC-238 BC; given name Kuang）, who lived in the State of Zhao （now Handan City, Hebei Province） during the Warring States period, was a great thinker and educator. As the last master of Confucianism in the Pre-Qin period, he established his own system of thought by inheriting and developing that of Confucius and assimilating the achievements of other contemporary philosophers. His scholarly thought had a great influence on later ages. The spread of the Five Classics （The Book of Songs, The Book of Documents, The Book of Rites, The Book of Changes and The Spring and Autumn Annals） in the Hart Dynasty owed almost entirely to his disciples. From the Han to the Tang, people such as Sima Qian, Liu Xiang, Wang Chong, Yan Zhitui, Wei Zheng and Yang Jing put Xun Zi ahead of Mencius, showing that his influence outweighed the latter＇s. Xun Zi＇s philosophy lay at the heart of thinking on state administration in the Han and Tang, two of the most prosperous dynasties in Chinese history.
