儒家与亚里士多德“中庸”伦理思想比较

A Comparative Study of Two Doctrines of " Golden Mean" between Confucius and Aristotle

从两种“中庸”思想的基本内容、两种“中庸”伦理思想的指向或目的、两种“中庸”伦理思 想通向各自目的的基本途径3个方面进行了中西伦理思想比较。

The doctrines of the 'Golden Mean' have had a very important status both in Chinese and Western historical development of ethics. The great ancient Chinese thinker Confucius regards the 'Golden Mean' as the 'Ultimate Virtues'. His Greek counterpart Aristotle takes the 'Golden Mean' not only as a virtue, but also a kind of happiness. The paper undertakes a comparative study between the two doctrines in terms of their basic content, orientation or purpose as well as approaches.
