传统中国社会服务的心性基础与组织载体

On the Basis of Mind-nature and Institutional Structures of the Traditional Chinese Social Services

心性秩序与组织结构是社会理论基本的内在/外在视角。本文试图从这一内外视角来阐述传统中国的社会服务机制。传统中国的人的本质是以亲亲为核心的伦理总体,这是社会团结的总体机制,也是社会服务的心性基础。据此阐述了与之对应的以家庭为主要组织载体,以宗族、宗教组织、政府专业机构与民间志愿团体为补充的社会服务组织结构。通过对传统中国社会服务的反思,为转型时期的中国构建合适的社会服务体系提供参考。
