摘　　要：在民本思想体系中,“立君为民”这个命题处于极其重要的理论地位。从历史过程看,“立君为民”观念的产生早于“民为国本”观念;从理论价值看,“立君为民”是“以民为本”的终极依据;从思维逻辑看,“民为国本”、“政在养民”是“立君为民”的推论;从影响范围看,“立君为民”比民本思想的其他命题获得更广泛的认同。这个命题从政治本体论的角度论证了民在政治生活中的地位,即国家、社稷、君主皆为民而设。是否认同“立君为民”In the system of the people-based thought, the proposition of setting the monarch for the people occupies a very important theoretical place. From the perspective of historical process, the idea of setting the monarch for the people appears earlier than the idea that the people are the root of state; from the perspective of theoretical value, setting the monarch for the people is the utmost grounds for taking the people as the root; from the perspective of thinking logic, the people being the root of state and the focus of the polity being to nurture the people derives from setting the monarch for the people; from the perspective of the domain of influence, setting the monarch for the people has won wider recognition than any other proposition. This proposition has demonstrated the place of the people in the political life from the point of view of political ontology, i.e., the state or sheji and the monarch are set for the people. Whether he identifies himself with setting the monarch for the people or not is the most important yardstick to judge whether he is a believer of the doctrine of the people-based thinker.
