As a result, Hsu Fu-kuan believes that even if Confucian ideas about moral rule show some resemblance to modern concepts of human rights and freedom, Confucianism isn't very strong on these points. Unless they are put into concrete form in a democratic system, they won't be protected.
因此徐復觀認為，儘管儒家的德治思想可通自由人權等現代價值，但是根本不十分穩固，除非客觀化於民主制度中，否則是得不到保障的。
