试论仁的本质

On the Essence of Humanity

仁是原始儒学中具有最高涵盖力的伦理范畴,但其内涵未得到明确和正确的表述。仁就是尊重人,就是尊重人的生命、人格和社会价值,是非物质化非情感化的人文关怀。这一观点为认识孝、敬、忠、宽、恕等概念的共性特征及礼的社会功能等提供了理论基础。

Humanity is the most basic,important and also the highest moral standard in Confucianism.The essence of humanity is to respect human himself including his life,dignity,social value and other non-humanistic concerns.This is also the theory basis for most of other Chinese morals including filial piety,respect,loyalty,tolerance and forgiveness.
