摘　　要：先秦儒家政治哲学的主题是人性、优良政府与正义,而荀子是体现这个主题的重要一环。对于荀子来说,该主题很大程度上是以礼为焦点的。从政治哲学的视域考察荀子的礼观念,可以看出其呈现出多重向度。就人性哲学的主导倾向而言,可以把荀子归入他律伦理学的类型;就理想的政体而言,荀子支持的是君主专制,只不过是仁慈的专制主义而已;就正义观而言,荀子形成了颇有特色的精英主义的等级分配正义。The Pre-Qin Confucian political philosophy was focused on human nature,good government and justice.Xunzi was an important philosopher in that school of thought. To Zunzi,that focus,to a great extent,had the concept of'Li'( rites) at the core. This paper examines this concept from the perspective of political philosophy and finds it multi-dimensional. Firstly,in terms of human-nature-centered philosophy,his idea belonged to heteronomy. Secondly,Xunzi regarded monarchy despotism as the ideal form of regime,though he believed that it should be better termed as benevolent despotism. Finally,Xunzi,in his discussion of the concept of justice,proposed a unique theory of justice emphasizing elite hierarchy distributive justice.
