To appreciate the political theories and institutions of Asia in the proper historical perspective, it is necessary to remember that, in spite of Switzerland, universal suffrage and the initiative and referendum are essentially young phenomena in EurAmerica; and that republicanism cannot be pronounced to be a historic trait of the occidental mind. On the other hand, it is apparent that the liberal political movements in Young Asia have, if at all, only very remote bloodrelationship with the theories and institutions developed in its past history. The Japanese constitutional monarchy, the ideals of the Young Turk, the Chinese republic, as well as the nationalist activities in Egypt, Persia and India, are chiefly based on the modern Eur-American achievements. These sources can be briefly mentioned as: (1) the English parliament, (2) the American federation, (3) the "ideas of 1789," (4) the idealism of Fichte and Schiller, (5) the socialism of Karl Marx and Louis Blanc, (6) the political mysticism of Joseph Mazzini, and, last but not least, (7) the philosophy and methodology of John Stuart Mill. Within these limitations it should be possible to define the rightful place of the Asians in a scientific study of comparative politics. ORIENTAL POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY Writers on the history of political theory make it a point to quote democratic verses from the Bible. We are asked, for example, to note the following statement of St. Paul: "There can be neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neither bond nor free, there can be no male and female; for ye are one in Christ Jesus." Notions like this constitute a large part of Chinese and Hindu classics. Bulky as they are they can be mainly grouped under the formula: "All men are morally and spiritually equal." The Pauline declaration is almost a chip from Vedantic monism. Moh-ti (c B.C. 500-420), "the only Chinese who can truly be said to have founded a religion," was the preacher of universal brotherhood. Mencius (B.C. 373-289), the great Confucian philosopher, said: "Moh-ti loved all men, and would gladly wear out his whole being from head to heel for the benefit of mankind." This doctrine of universal altruism is, says Suh Hu in The Development of Logical Method in Ancient China, a repudiation of the Confucian principle of love decreasing with the remoteness of relationship. Hui Sze, the neo-Mohist dialectician of the fourth century B.C., also taught "Love all things equally; the universe is one." In Islam the social equality of all "believers" is proverbial. The brotherhood of the Mohammedans without distinction of race is the most characteristic tenet of their faith. The following is the injunction of the Koran1 on this point: "If two parties of the believers contend with one another, do ye endeavor to compose the matter between them make peace between them with equity true believers are brethren; wherefore reconcile your brethren neither defame one another; nor call one another by opprobrious names." Verily the The Hindu Puranas also are replete with instructions like the following: "Everywhere, O Daityas (Titans), ye should per 1 Ch. XLIX (Sale's translation). – |
