孔子伦理思想的普世价值

The Universal Equality Thought of Confucian

当人类步入21世纪,在全球化的时代背景下以及现代性的道德危机面前,需要我们重新审视孔子伦理普世价值,挖掘其合理的思想资源,为现代社会的发展寻求伦理文化的支持与动力。文章把孔子伦理思想置于全球化的氛围中,从超越的、心性的、和社会的三个理论层面对天命、仁、礼进行梳理,认为“天命观”中宗教性与世俗性的统一,“仁爱”中的泛爱思想和民本理念,“礼”规范中和谐思想以及个人价值和社会价值的统一都将是人类文明共同的财富,对全人类具有同等重要的意义。

The Confucianism has profound influence throughout the history of China and had great effect on the development of the world and China. In the new era of the 21st century, with the globalization and the deterioration of the modern morality, it is very urgent for us to reconsider the Confucianism universal equality viewpoint and to utilize the reasonable thinking source of it and to pave the ethnical and cultural road for the social development. In this article, the Confucianism is put in the background of globalization, in which the three different claims by Confucian, the destiny, kindness, and value, are discussed transcendentally, psychologically, and socially. It is believed that the unity of the religion and customs in the view of the world, that the universal care thought and human oriented thought in the value of kindness, and that the harmonious thought and the unity of the personal value and the social value are common wealth of the human civilization, which is of great significance to the human beings on the whole.
