Doctrine of the Mean
(5) An ethical "T'ien", that is, one having a moral principle and which is the highest primordial principle of the universe. This is the sort of "T'ien" which the ["Chung Yung"] (Doctrine of the Mean) refers to in its opening sentence when it says: "What "T'ien" confers (on man) is called his nature." (1952:31)
