试论朱熹“省察”德育思想及其现代启示

Zhu Xi's Doctrine on Self-Examination and Its Revelation for Modern Times

在修身过程中重视省察自身,是朱熹道德思想的一个重要组成部分。他认为省察这一修身方法是"得为学之本"。省察的要义可归纳为:知明、自讼、改过,它的作用是明辨是非、善恶、克制人欲泛滥、促进人性完善。朱熹的省察思想对后世产生了广泛而深远的影响。这对于我们今天人格的完善有重要启示。

It is an important part of all Zhu Xi＇ s ethical thoughts to emphasize self- examination. It is to be summarized as self- understanding, self- criticizing and self- improving. The doctrine not only has a vast and profound influence on the later ages, but also is still an important revelation for the personality perfection today by emancipating man from his everyday sufferings and his confusions about the meanings of life.
