儒家与基督教孝文化对比

Comparison of Xiao Culture between Confucianism and Christianity

从1993年美国哈佛大学亨廷顿提出文明冲突的观点以来,涌现出了大量关于基督教、儒教之间的同异对比、彼此之间的融合和互补以及如何通过取己之长、补己之短构建适应当代全球化社会的一种普世伦理的论述。鉴于孝文化作为儒家与基督教文化共有的观念与实践,本文从伦理学视角对儒家与基督教孝文化的渊源与实践作了对比,并同时探讨了构建适应当代全球化社会环境的一种新型孝文化,综合儒家基督教之长,以更好地应对即将来临的人口老龄化社会。

Since Samuel P.Huntington of Harvard University in America,published the article of the clash between civilizations in 1993,there has appeared a great deal of literature elaborating on the similarity and difference between Christianity and Conf-ucianism,the integration of the two and how to take one＇s advantage and dismiss one＇s disadvantage to build a new univ-ersal ethics conforming to the contemporary globalized society.Based on the commonality that xiao（filial piety in Chinese） cul-ture is formed and practiced in Christianity and Confucianism,this paper focuses on comparison of xiao culture from the pers-pective of ethical origin and practice in both cultures and dis-cusses about building a new xiao culture conforming to the contemporary globalized society by integrating the advantages of both cultures in order to better deal with the upcoming aging society.
