The concept of conscience transcending secular value as ‘Tianli’ which Wang Yangming developed really make individual to be a citizen of the universe, so everyone’s equality was made. Confucianism convinced that one’s equality was derived from his born virtue. Social arbitrament only depends on one social system from public reason based on exchange of peoples’ conscience.

Key words: conscience, justice, reason, the Way of heaven, citizen of the universe
