“道德的政治”抑或“政治的道德”——先秦儒家“教化”思想的本质辨析

Moral Politics or Political Morality——Discrimination of The essence of Pre-qin Confucian civilizing thought

儒家教化思想的本质反映了道德性与政治性的契合,但对于先秦儒家而言,"道德的政治"即"政治道德化"才是其教化思想存在和发展的内在依据,体现了自身内在的根本矛盾。它不仅反映了先秦儒家与后世儒家教化思想的共相,也体现了先秦儒家教化思想"恰恰地是这个事物"的殊相,从而在整体上呈现出动态的发展趋势,由"道德的政治"过渡到"道德的政治"与"政治的道德"的张力性统一。

The fusion of moral attribute and political attribute is the essence of civilizing thought of confucian.But Moral Politics is the inherent basis of the existence and development of Pre-qin Confucian civilizing thought,which reflects fundamental contradiction itself.On the one hand,Moral Politics reflects the universality of Confucian civilizing thought.On the other hand,Moral Politics reflects particularity of Pre-qin Confucian civilizing thought.So the essence of civilizing thought shows a dynamic development trend from Moral Politics to the fusion of Moral Politics and Political Morality.
