墨子“兼爱”思想浅析

On Mozi's Concept of“Universal love”

"兼爱"是墨子所提出的十大主张中最具代表性的命题,亦是其理论体系的核心所在。该思想集中体现了墨子在解决社会矛盾问题方面的根本态度与基本方法,反映了中下层人民群众的迫切要求,在我国思想发展史上无疑占有重要地位。不过,也必须意识到由于时代和阶级的局限,墨子的这一主张在具有极大思想价值的同时也存在着明显的理论缺陷,因此,并不适用于社会实践。

＂Universal love＂ is the most representative of Mozi＇s ten propositions and it is also the core of his theoretical system. This thought embodies his fundamental ideological attitudes and basic methods in solving problems of social contradictions, reflects the urgent demands of the middle and lower classes of the people, and plays an important role in the history of thought in China. However, we must realize that due to the limitations of his times and this social class this thought also has somw obvious defects and thus does not apply to social practice.
