价值诉求辩解及其时代意义论析——基于孔子与柏拉图的比较

Value Pursuits of Confucius and Plato and Contemporary Significance

人是历史的,也是现实的。对人的生存困境的理论疏解,既要基于现实语境,更要进行深层次的历史文化省思。依托对比分析方法,深入考察从中西文化发展的历史源头,比较孔子"仁"与柏拉图"善"的价值诉求,明晰二者存在的实质差异,从中获悉当代中国社会人的生存困境之历史文化理据,进而为人的全面发展以及社会进步提供可借鉴的思维径路,具有积极的理论意义和实践价值。

Man exists in history and reality. Theoretical exploration to man＇s living plight must be based on a profound historical and cultural reflection as well as on contemporary context. A historical and cultural comparison between the value pursuit of Confucius, ＂benevolence＂, and that of Plato, ＂good＂, can reveal their essential difference. The comparison will reveal the historical and cultural causes of the living plights of contemporary Chinese, which is of both theoretical and practical signifi- cance for the all-round development of man and society.
