生命与孝——《论语》中孔子的自然孝论

Life and Filial Piety——The Instinct of Filial Piety by Confucius in the Analects

孝是孔子思想中的核心概念之一。《论语》中关于孝的论述文本表明孔子的孝思想是源于他对生命的敬重和对时间的敬畏,源于他对个体人性的洞彻。孔子从人的内在要求和自觉意识出发,向我们展示了孝是一种自然而然的、天经地义的、由衷而发的感情。孔子蕴含着生命意识的孝道思想对当下构建和谐人伦关系的道德建设依然具有现实的、积极的意义。

The filial piety is one of the core ideas of the Confucian ideology. The filial piety in ＂The Analects＂ by Confucius sterns from the respect for life and the fear of limited time, bases on the great insight of human nature. From the inherent requirements and self-comciousness, Confucius reckoned that the filial piety was the unalterable principle and a kind of feeling from the bottom of ones heart. Such Confucian ideology of filial piety still has a realistic and positive function in the current construction of a harmonious society and civic virtues.
