《孝经》中的孝道思想初探

Probing into Thoughts of Filial Piety in the Classic Book of Filial Piety

儒家重要经典《孝经》详尽地记载了关于孝道的思想和言论,内容涉及孝道在道德规范中的重要地位,天子、诸侯、卿大夫、士、庶人的"五等之孝"及孝道的基本原则、孝治思想等。《孝经》中将孝奉为德之本,要求子女诚心诚意孝敬父母,在父母年迈、困难时竭尽孝心,这些合理内核值得我们继承和弘扬,但对于其中存在的"天地神灵"、"因果报应"等唯心主义思想,"三日而食"、"服三年之丧"的陈腐观念,人分五等的等级观念,"事君"、"忠君"的专制主义思想等封建性的糟粕要予以批判和抛弃。
