Morality, Moral Education and Their Enjoyment

道德有许多功能 ,也就是说有许多“用”。它可以利他与自利。除此以外 ,它本身对它的主体也生出一种“用”,这种用不是外在的利益 ,而是一种感受 ,是一种“受用”。这种受用是乐。道德具有乐之受用 ,这是儒学中的基本观念。教育具有乐之受用亦是儒学基本观念。道德有乐之受用 ,教育亦有乐之受用。二者合而为一 ,道德教育本身之乐趣 。

One of functions of morality is enjoyment. This idea is fundamental in the perspective of the Confucian school, and we can find lots of academic materials about this idea in the school. Education has enjoyment in the perspective of the Confucian school, either. It is certain that moral education has enjoyment because both morality and education are enjoyable.
