儒家孝道与当代中国伦理教育

Confucianists’ Filial Piety and Moral Education in Modern China

当代中国伦理教育,在汲取传统伦理文化过程中不可避免的要面对如何对待孝这一儒家文化的原发性的首要观念和德行。我们必须厘清传统之孝与现代之孝的区别,在传统社会,孝是首德和泛德;在现代社会,它只能是子德,是基础道德。传统孝道既有亲情的民主性的合理内涵,也有封建性糟粕,新孝道最本质的特点就是亲子平等。掌握孝道的“爱敬忠礼”的伦理精神本质,有助于提高现代孝道和全部伦理教育的水平。

The moral education in modern China,while absorbing the traditional ethical culture,has to face up with “filial piety” which is the original and chief concept and virtue of Confucianism culture.And we have to differ the traditional filial piety from the modern one.In the traditional society,filial piety is the first and extensive virtue;however,in the modern society,it is only subordination and foundational one.There is not only relative and democratic content with reason but also feudalism draff in the traditional filial piety.And the essential character of the new is fair among relatives.It is helpful to improve modern filial piety and the whole standard of moral education to grasp the spirit essence of ethic of “love,respect,loyalty and propriety”.
