论传统伦理学中义利问题的类型

Classification of Issues Concerning Justice and Interest in Traditional Ethics

义利问题是中国传统伦理学中的一个大问题,相关的思想材料和理论观点非常丰富与复杂。在所谓"义利之辩"中,古代哲学家涉及的论题不是一个,而是三个。义利问题不是一个问题,而是虽然相关却可清晰区分开来的三种不同类型的问题。确立"问题类型意识",将义利问题的不同类型加以区分,对于深化传统义利思想的研究具有重要价值。

Justice and interest was a leading issue in Chinese traditional ethics. The so-called argumentation among ancient Chinese philosophers involved three arguments instead of only one for matters of justice and interest concerned three interrelated but distinct types of argumentation. It is of significance to study of traditional theory of justice and interest to discriminate different types of argumentation on justice and interest through establishing problem consciousness.
