儒家自我修养的视界

Confucians' Self-cultivation

儒家把自我修养作为做人之本,并视之为人的终身任务。自我修养的最终目的是修身、齐家、治国、平天下,力图使个体提升、上进到"止于至善"与"纯乎天理","中庸"与"天人合一"的理想境界。自我修养的基本方法为立志、明理、自省以及慎独、力行,主要特点表现为主体性、一定抑制性和内向性。自我修养在现代也具有重要价值。

The Confucians regard self- cultivation as the foundation of a personhood, and also his lifelong duty. The ultimate goal of self-cultivation is to cultivate oneself, regulate the family, govern the state, and bring peace to the world, and try hard to make oneself progress for the ＂the highest excellence＂ and ＂the purest justice＂. Essential method for Self - cultivation is to determine, to reason, to self - examine, to introspect when alone and to practice. Self - cultivation is characterized as subjective, repressive and introspective. The practice is very important to people in the modern age.
