“内圣之学”是“道德的宗教”还是“道德的信仰”——从孔子仁学思想观儒学的终极关怀

The Saint Study——Moral Religion or Moral Belief

雅斯贝尔斯提出的哲学信仰为儒家思想的合理定位提供了可能。而以西方宗教优先的价值判断体系为儒家争取价值地位的做法,无益于真正把握儒家思想的实质。仁构成了孔子不断超越自身、完善自身的力量。孔子对仁的超越性追求,充分体现了儒学的道德追求与道德信仰性质。从孔子行仁的方法和行仁的途径来看,儒学与宗教信仰有明显的不同。儒家哲学既不属于宗教信仰,也不属于理论哲学信仰,它重在道德方面,故此属于实践哲学信仰。

Jaspers＇ theory of philosophy belief is a reasonable position for Confucianism.The value judgments system of western religious priority is not conducive to truly grasp the essence of Confucianism.Benevolence constitutes a continued beyond him and improves his strength for Confucius.Confucius＇ pursuing for Benevolence fully embodies the nature of Confucianism of moral pursuit and moral belief.From the ways and means of Confucius＇ acting,Confucianism and the religious belief are significantly different.Confucianism is neither religious nor theoretical philosophical belief;it focuses on the moral,therefore belongs to the practical philosophical belief.
