原始儒家道德之于历史发展的动力因——兼评陈鹏《原始儒家孝、忠、礼、德观念的变异》

Motivation of the Original Confucianism Morality to the Historical Development——Comments on Chen Peng’s The Variation of the Original Confucianism Filial Piety,Loyalty,Courtesy,and Morality Concepts

读陈鹏先生《原始儒家孝、忠、礼、德观念的变异》一书,深感作者对原始儒家所重视的个人道德之于历史发展之间的因果关联深为关注,个人道德与文化存续之间并非对立存在,文化的存续是原始儒家道德的应有之义。对于君主而言,君主个人道德甚至成为影响国家兴衰与社会治乱的关键因素。于是,以儒家道德为内涵所形成的传统核心价值观对历史的发展走向产生根深蒂固的复杂影响。

In the book The Variation of the Original Confucianism Filial Piety,Loyalty,Courtesy,and Morality Concepts by Mr.Chen Peng,the author has carefully considered the original intention and value of the original Confucianism.He pays close attention to the causal relationship between the personal morality of the original Confucianism and the historical development.There is no contradiction between personal morality and cultural existence.The existence of culture is the proper meaning of morality of original Confucianism.For the emperor,the personal morality of the emperor is even a key factor affecting the rise and fall of the country and social disorder.Therefore,the traditional core values formed by Confucian morality have a deep-rooted complex influence on the development of history.
