孟子的仁政学说与和谐社会的构建

Mencious's Ideology of the Policy of Benevolence and the Construction of Harmonious Society

孟子以人与禽兽之别来规定人性,强调人性为善的道德自觉。人的"类"意识内在地规定了人性具有善的可能性。统治者从这种善性出发,推行得民心的仁政,就成为一种必须的选择。仁政包含了政治、经济、教育、人事等具体内容,它强调稳定的政治秩序,突出"民"的主体地位,对我们社会主义和谐社会的构建具有重大借鉴作用。

Meneious defined the humanity according to the differences between human beings and beasts, emphasizing the consciousness of morals that humanity should be kind. The sense of category of human being internally provides the probability that humanity has kindness. Beginning with the kindness and intending to gather the general will of national people, it is necessary for the governors to try to carry out a policy of benevolence which involves economy, politics, education and personnel matters, etc. Such a policy should put emphasis on a relatively stable political order and highlight a principal status of the people. It would have a great reference effect on our construction of harmonious society.
