论孔子哲学的血亲情理精神——解读关于“三年之丧”的对话

On Confucius' Principle of Consanguineous Affection——A reading of the dialogue about "the three-year mourning"

在与宰我围绕"三年之丧"展开的对话中,孔子提出了"心安理得"的行为准则,要求人们凭借道德情感超越自然欲望,并进一步把血缘亲情看成是人类生活的终极本根和至上原理,从而展示了儒家"血亲情理"精神的几乎所有基本内涵。

In his dialogue with Zai Wo about ＂the three-year mourning＂, Confucius establishes a principle of ＂justification by feeling at ease＂, and insists that one should transcend natural desires by moral emotions. More significantly, he further regards kinship love as the ultimate root and supreme principle of human life. Thus, this dialogue contains almost all the basic elements of the Confucian spirit of consanguineous affection.
