朱熹论“义”、“利”及其现代意义

ZHU Xi on "justice","profit" and the modern sense

为探讨朱熹"义"、"利"思想的现代意义,运用文献研究法等方法对朱熹相关理论进行研究。分析认为,朱熹在总结前人观点的基础上对"义"和"利"进行了阐释,指出"义"是"天理之所宜",是"心之制","利者,人情之所欲";朱熹不仅继承了儒家"重义轻利"的思想,而且进一步把"重义轻利"思想与"理"联系起来,对其作了本体论的论证;其意义就在于告诫人们在现代社会既要重视"利",也要重视"义",当"利"和"义"冲突时首先要取"义"。

ZHU Xi explained ＂justice＂ and ＂profit＂ on the basis of the conclusion of our predecessors, and pointed out that ＂justice＂ is what ＂the nature should be＂ and ＂heart＇ s control＂ ; ＂ration is the human＇s desire. ＂ ZHU Xi inherited the mind of ＂valuing justice above material gains＂, and further connected it with the ＂nature law＂, then he made the ontological argument. It still has its meaning in the modem time. Through literature research, empirical analysis and other theories, ＂justice＂ and ＂profit＂ is studied. The author in the paper warn people in modem society that it is necessary to not only attach importance to ＂profit＂, but also to attach importance to ＂ justice＂. And when ＂profit＂ and ＂justice＂ conflict, ＂ justice＂ should be firstly taken.
