经济文化学的亚洲解读——涩泽荣一《论语讲义》经济理念

The Asian Explanation of Economic Culturology——Analysis of "Teaching of the Analects"

解说东亚发展的精神支持,这是东亚现代化研究领域的重要课题,也是一个“韦伯式的问题”。涩泽荣一创立日本第一国立银行,有“日本资本家之父”之称,为日本现代化作出重要贡献。涩泽荣一主张:商人之一生当如穆罕默德一手持剑、一手经卷那样,一手持算盘,一手持《论语》,以儒家精神指导工商经济活动。他说:“从来学习《论语》者,皆将仁义道德与生产殖利分为两物,此乃大谬也。必将合二为一,方得其真旨。”东亚传统文化在他那里被“圆熟”地与经济事业融为一体。

How to explain the Spiritual effect of Asian development is not only a questlon tor discussion ot Asian modernization but also a “Weber ＇s question”. Shibusawa Eiichi, who is considered as the father of Japanese Capitalist and has made great contribution to Japanese modernization, founded the first national bank. He thought that the merchant should do the work with Confucian spirit＇s guidance so that they can hold an abacus by one hand and take a “the Analects” by another hand as Mahomet can hold a sword one side and take a scripture another side. “It is a great falsehood that the Analects learners may detach virtue and morality from work and benefit all the times. If we want to draw the quintessence, we must try to bring them together.” he said. So, he is good at integrating traditional culture into business.
