《理想国》中的共有家庭观念

The Notion of Common Family in The Republic

《理想国》的共有家庭观念是理想国建设的重要部分。《理想国》的共有家庭观念主要包括共有家庭的构建及其依据。其中,共有家庭的构建特点即共有,共有既有关于人及关系的共有,也有关于物的共有。这种家庭的建立仍需要婚姻的存在,这种婚姻不仅需要符合理性而且仪式要神圣。《理想国》的家庭观与中国大同社会理想中的家庭观相比较,最大的不同在于对人性的理解,一者基于经验世界亲情强调仁德,一者基于超验世界理念强调理性。《理想国》中的共有家庭观念对东西方文化史具有深刻的影响。

The notion of the common family is an important part of The Republic（ by Plato）. The notion includes the ways to build the family and its theoretical basis. The clearest characteristic of the common family is＂common＂,referring to both relations of human beings and their property. In order to build the common family,it is necessary to maintain marriage that should be rational and sacred. Comparing The Republic with the family values in the Pantisocracy of China,the biggest difference is how to understand humanity. The former focuses on the reason in the transcendental world,and the latter is based on emphasizing the virtue of kindness in the experiential world. The notion of the common family in The Republic has a profound impact on the history of the eastern and western civilization.
