论传统公私观在近代的变革

On the Evolution of the Traditional Public-Private Values in the Modern Era

中国传统的公私观在近代遭到几代新学家的质疑、批判。他们公开肯定私的正当、合理,但是,他们在倡私的过程中并未提倡人们置公利于不顾,而是试图正确地处理好公私、群己、人我关系,实现彼此调和。这同他们在这一时期所提倡的“合理利己”主义是一致的。

The traditional Chinese public-private values have been doubted and criticized by the new generations of scholars. They announced their positive opinions of the justice and rationality of private. While advocating private, it did not mean paying no attention to the public. Instead, it was important to coordinate the relationship between public and private, collective and individual, others and self. This is in accordance with the 'rational-egoism' that they advocated during this period.
