儒家亲情观念的普遍化维度考察

A Survey of the Confucian Concept of Family Affection from the Universal Dimension

儒家哲学的根本问题在于解决个体与全体、整体的矛盾关系,它以伦理生活、道德实践为基础,追求情感融通的实质普遍性,而不同于侧重理性认知的形式普遍性。儒家以亲情为根本展开其情感普遍化维度,本体意义的情感普遍性是亲情显现的依据,而全体意义的情感普遍性则是亲情显现的结果,共同构成一个本体即全体的融通为一的情感世界。在现实世界中,儒家以亲情为根本建构起了一个情感普遍化的纵贯融通模式,对中国传统的伦理政治秩序、理智认知模式都产生了深远影响。儒家亲情观念的普遍化维度深刻地影响了传统中国人的情感生活、精神生活以至整个生活世界,今天仍然是我们探索儒学创造性转化与创新性发展的基本思想前提。

The fundamentals in Confucian philosophy are to solve the contradiction between the individual and the collectivity,which is based on ethical life and moral practice to seek the essential universality of the emotional integration instead of focusing on the formal universality of the rational cognition.Confucianism expanded the universal dimension on the foundation of family affection,and they considered the universality of affection both the basis for and result of the manifestation of affection from different perspectives of taking universality of affection as individual noumenon or collectivity,which constitutes the integral emotional world of integrating an individual noumenon with a collectivity.In the real world,Confucianism constructed a vertically integrated model based on affection,which had a far-reaching influence on the traditional ethical and political order and rational cognitive model in China.The universal dimension of the Confucian family affection profoundly affected the emotional life,spiritual life and even the entire life world of traditional Chinese people.It is now still the basic premise to explore the creative transformation and innovative development of Confucianism.
