儒学和基督教“孝”伦理观之比较

Comparison of the Ethic Concept" Filial Piety" from Confucianism and Christianism

“孝”在儒学主导下的传统中国伦理实践中具有基础地位与核心意义,而对西方社会及其伦理生活同样具有深刻影响的基督教对“孝”观念问题也存在着种种教导与论述。从发生逻辑、内在结构、价值取向诸方面考察,前者主要体现为一种自然之孝、身份之孝、人本之孝,后者则基本上属于一种启示之孝、契约之孝、神本之孝。立足于全球化视野,如何能够在努力卸载两种“孝”观念政治性、宗教性等意识形态方面之历史负担的基础上,充分而自觉地实现二者之间的相互沟通、补充和修正,从而为建构全球普遍伦理提供某种契机与资源,应当是一更有意义的重要课题。

Filial piety plays a fundamental and key role in traditional ethical life of China ruled by Confucianism, while there are a lot of teaching and guidance about filial piety given by Christianity that gives profound influence to western society and its ethical life. However, through investigating in three aspects including forming logic, inner structure and value orientation, we can differ that the former develops a kind of filial piety of nature, Of identity and of human - centered thinking; while the latter belongs to a type of filial piety of enlighten, of agreement and of theology. From the vision of globalization, how to promote the communication and rectifying each other between two ideas of filial piety should be a more important and meaningful study in order to provide a kind of juncture or resource for universal ethics in future.
