诚信与做人——存在论视域中的诚信

Honesty,Trustworthiness and Conducting Oneself——Honesty and Trustworthiness in Ontology

诚信其实是一种做人的能力,即按照人的内在本性的要求去规范自身的活动,促进人的全面发展。由此,诚信有三重内涵:其一,诚信就是不欺天,即以“真人”为标准,在实践中去选择、创造和坚持使人的发展得到肯定的一切事物。这是“择善而固执之”的道德能力。其二,诚信就是不欺人,即人作为社会的存在,要信守规则,以诚待人。信守规则体现了正义感,以诚待人则体现了爱的能力。其三,诚信就是不自欺,即人作为个性的存在,要自主自信,敢于担当,维护人的尊严,挺立独立人格。

Honesty and tmstworthiness is the ability to dominate his own development in terms of his inherent nature. Here, it has its three dimensions. First, manifesting honesty and trustworthiness is not to deceive the Heavens, which means choosing a standard of a true self and developing the ability to choose good and hold tight to it. On the level of one＇s sociality, honesty and trustworthiness is not to deceive others, which means observing rules and treating people in earnest. Observing rules represents justice sense and treating people in earnest embodies the ability to love. On the level of one＇s individuality, honesty and trustworthiness is not to deceive oneself, which means independence and confidence. Then dignity can be maintained and self-governed personality can be developed.
