孔子“义利”观与现代法治和谐理念

Confucian Position of “Yi and Li” and the Modern Harmonious Notion of Nomocracy

孔子思想是第一次文化轴心时代人类思想的伟大创造,儒家社会理想的本原是“和谐”。孔子纳“仁”入“礼”,希望通过体现以民为本的社会正义观的“礼法”体系去整合社会,最终实现社会和谐的目标。在孔子的利、义观中,个人之“利”与个人之“义”并不相互冲突。孔子的“义利”观体现了法律的利益调控功能与正义价值的和谐统一,与和谐社会的法治理念有契合性。孔子思想中所体现的“利”与“义”的和谐统一观,对今天以社会和谐为目标的法治建设具有重要的启示作用。

Confucianism is deemed a great invention of human thoughts in the first cultural axis period. The foothold of Confucian social ideal is ＂harmony. ＂ By incorporating ＂Ren＂ into ＂Li, ＂ Confucius wanted to integrate society with ＂Li and Fa,＂ a system full of social justice ideas that advocated putting man above every thing and ultimately hit the target of achieving social harmony. In the Confucian position of ＂Li and Yi, ＂ individual ＂Li＂ does not contradict with individual ＂Yi. ＂ Confucian ＂Yi and Li＂ embodies the harmonious and integrated relationship between the interest-regulation function of law and the value of justice, which is compatible with the notion of nomocracy in a harmonious society. In respect of our efforts to govern our country in accordance with a system of law and ultimately build a harmonious society, the harmonious and integrated relationship between ＂Li＂ and ＂Yi＂ embodied in Confucian thoughts will certainly have an enlightening significance
