儒家经济学思想之辨析及重建之原则

An Analysis of the Confucian Economic Thought and the Principle of Reconstruction

随着儒学研究与复兴的持续发酵,建基于儒家哲学基础之上的儒家经济学需要进行重新的审思,并应该与建立在"理性经济人"基础之上的西方经济学的逻辑发展以及学术逻辑进行行之有效的剖析与比勘。理解儒家经济学思想,需要对儒家哲学中"仁、义、礼"中所包含的自爱与自利这一儒家经济学哲学基础进行行之有效的辨析,并在此基础上分析儒家经济学从原初形态到历史歧变的过程与儒家核心理念历史变迁之间的关系。如何在现世之中重构儒家经济学,则需要对西方经济学提出有别于历史中不同派别的理解范式,通过学术逻辑与历史发展双层模型的展开,回归于"义者,利之和"这一总体指导思想,并通过关于"义"的正当性及边界之限定、"和"的方法论之层面进行展开,此种展开包含着对西方经济学不同流派的统摄以及面向未来的开放性与完整性,并在此基础上达成逻辑与实践的统一。

With the widespread renaissance of Confucianism, the Confucian economic thought should be reexamined, and a comparative study with the western economic thought （which is founded on the philosophical understanding of man as “rational economic agent”） is also needed. In order to understand the Confucian economic thought, it is important to understand how ideas such as “self interest” and “self love” have been built into the Confucian understanding of “Ren／Yi／Li,” and how the Confucian economic thought has dynamically interacted with the Confucian philosophy in the history. This essay argues that the core Confucian idea that“righteousness means the benefits by the suitable and right methods” should serve as the basis on which Confucian economic thought be reconstructed in the present social reality. This reconstruction also allows us to engage in a more fruitful dialogue with the western economic thought, and helps us arrive at a better unification of practice and theory in our economic life.
