孔子的妇女观探析

Confucius's View on Women

孔子作为古代最伟大的人道主义者,最早发现了人,他的“仁”、“礼”同构伦理体系,特别是“泛爱众”思想,使他能够在男女社会分工、内外有别现象既成的前提下,重视妇女的作用,特别是她们在家庭中的作用,强调要尊重妇女、爱护妇女、孝敬母亲。当然,他的旨在“恢复周礼”、维护等级阶级差别的思想、重“阳”的逻辑前提,为后世儒教歧视、压制女性埋下了伏笔。

It is Confucius,the greatest humanist in China,who discovers people.On the basis of the division of labor and the difference between domestic and working responsibilities,his ethic system of 'benevolence' and 'courtesy' makes him respect women's role,especially women's role at home,and draws people's attention to the respect of women,the care of women and the filial respect.However,his thought of maintaining class difference and his premise of emphasizing 'yang' lead to Confucianism discrimination and the suppression of women.
