从“民贵”走向“新民贵”——孟子民贵思想的现代诠释

A Modern Interpretation of Mencius' Thought of “Stressing the Ruled Instead of the Ruler”

"制民之产""保民而王"和"民贵君轻"是孟子民贵思想的主要内容。在遭遇到近代"民权"理论的冲击、建国初期持续性的批判以及改革开放带来的奠基之后,民贵思想应该包含着由民有、民享向民有、民享、民治、民权转变,由"顺民"向"公民"转变,由"民贵"向"有序民贵"转变等几个方面的内容,至今具有极大的现实意义。

＂Provide the people with enough property＂, ＂To be the king of protecting his subject＂and＂the thought that people are more important than the monarch＂are the main contents of Mencius＇thought of ＂stressing the ruled instead of the ruler＂.After in the face of shocks to the modem theory of ＂civil rights＂, persistence of the criticism in the early years of the founding and the development of reform and opening up,the thought of ＂stressing the ruled instead of the ruler＂ should include several new aspects as a governance of the people,by the people,and for the people;from the ＂docile subjects＇to ＂citizens＂ ; from the thought of ＂stressing the ruled instead of the ruler＂to the new orderly one,which is of great practical significance nowadays.
