论个人情感作为孔子之仁的根本和基础——以《论语》为研究对象

On Personal Emotion as the Root and Basis of Confucius' Benevolence:A Case Study of the Analects of Confucius

"仁"是孔子思想中的主要概念之一,也是《论语》里反复出现的核心词之一。在《论语》中,尽管孔子对仁的描述千变万化,但始终未离个人情感之宗。在孔子那里,仁是一个饱含个人情感的概念,个人情感是孔子之仁的根本和基础,个人情感的自然流露为仁,个人情感的不当流露为不仁,质朴真情是仁的关键,与"公心"相对的"私意"是仁之特质,"为仁由己"是由此推出的为仁之方。
