“兴于诗,立于礼,成于乐”——孔子的情感德育论中的三个阶段

On the Three Phases of Confucian Theory of the Moral Education in Emotion

孔子的情感德育理论认为,德性的养成,是一个以自然情感为基础,通过对自然情感的感发,再以"礼"对其进行适当的规约与引导,最终达到受教育者在情感上完全认同道德规范,道德规范完全内在为人的内在德性的"从心所欲不逾矩"的过程。这一过程的三个阶段,用孔子的一句话来概括就是:"兴于诗,立于礼,成于乐"。孔子德育理论的这一特点对当前学校德育工作有着重大的启发和借鉴意义。

Confucian theory of the moral education in emotion believes that the reality of the virtue is acquired in the way that on the basis of the natural emotion aroused and the learning and practice of rite, one eventual- ly identifies his emotion with the ethics which is internalized completely as his virtue, and then could follow what his heart desirs without transgressing what is right. Confucius defines these three phases of the course of moral education as ＂It is by odes that the mind is aroused. It is by the rules of propriety that the character is established. It is from the music that the finished is received. ＂ Confucian theory of moral education is of in- spiration and enlightenment to the current college moral education in China.
