孔子仁论新探

A New View on Confucius' Theory of Ren

仁是孔子学说的核心范畴。历代学者在解读仁时,往往立足于人与人关系的视域进行阐释。然而,从"仁"字的本源看,孔子论仁不仅就身心关系阐发,也从人我关系论述。就前者而言,指向的是主观的实践,即成己之道;就后者而言,指向的是客观的实践,即成人之道。前者侧重仁的自觉性与普遍性,而后者侧重人的具体性以及衍生的德性实践。上述阐发维度构成了孔子仁论的整体性特点,有助于重新审视孔子仁论及其相关论述。

Ren(仁)is the core concept of Confucius' thought.Scholars through the ages explained it in terms of the relationship between people when studying Ren.However,according to the origin of Ren,Confucius explained it in terms of the relationship between body and mind as a human,he also studied it in terms of the relationship between you and me,the former of which is for subjective practice,namely the way to complete yourself,and its stress is general and on the consciousness of a person,while the latter of which is for the objective practice,that is to say the way to be a complete man in the world,and its point is specific person and on the his behavior.This perspective above is the general characteristic of Confucius' Ren and is helpful in studying it and other related thoughts.
