论道德教育中的自爱

Self-Love in Moral Education

自爱作为人的本能需要,它是爱己与爱人的立足点。他爱只能产生于自爱的前提下,因为就其产生的机制来说,它源于个体自身的感受和需要。虽然就外在行为结果来看,它指向的是他人的利益,是他爱,但就其行为结果所产生的心理感受来说,它指向的是自我,是自爱。自爱的发展与人的需要层次是相对应的。低层次的自爱的外在表现主要指向自己,高层次的自爱的外在表现更多扩展于他人。没有强烈的自爱,就很难表现出强烈的他爱。他爱不是自我牺牲,而是自我实现。

Self-love as human nature is the standpoint for positive love. Other-love which looks to direct other＇s profit from its outcome actually does for himself to his feeling and must be based upon self-love given it origins from one＇ s perception and needs. The development of self-love corresponds to one＇s need levels, and its activity directs to his interests in low levels while it does to others＇ interests in high levels. No more self-love one has, no more other-love he felts. Other-love is not self-sacrificed, but self-realized.
