摘要
This study compares Confucian sincerity(cheng)and Jungian individuation as two paths toward authentic selfhood.Confucian sincerity stresses aligning inner intention with outward action,while Jungian individuation emphasizes integrating persona and shadow.The paper argues that both traditions describe a shared developmental pattern:authenticity emerges when individuals confront inner contradictions,cultivate honest self-awareness,and reduce the gap between internal and external selves.
