自由、平等、博爱——孙中山与基督教的不同展现

Liberty,Equality and Fraternity——Different Visions by Sun Yat-sen and by the Christianity

自由、平等、博爱是基督教的核心价值理念,在现代西方社会中发挥着重要作用。孙中山也有着自身的自由、平等、博爱思想,并且是为了当时中国社会的发展而提出来的。二者的自由、平等、博爱思想有着一致性,都为社会的发展起到了积极的意义。但是二者还有着不同之处:自由面向的主体和范围不同,致使二者导向不同的致思理路;平等建立的基础与性质不同,致使二者所追求的境界也不尽相同;博爱的性质不同,使得二者寻求的秩序也完全不同。二者对自由、平等、博爱三大普世价值的宣扬,都为保障社会模式的良好运转起到了促进作用,使更多的人从压迫和束缚中解脱出来,激发了人性的存在,对困苦的生活进行有力的抗争。

Liberty, equality and fraternity, core values of the Christianity, play import roles in modern Western society. Likewise, liberty, equality and fraternity proposed by Sun Yat-sen function in Chinese society in early modern Time. The thoughts put forwarded by the two sides played positive roles for the development of societies. However, there are some differences. First, they show different approaches to liberty as they define different subject of liberty. Second, they instruct different basis and natures of equality, which lead to different social situation. Third, there are different natures in fraternity, which result in totally different orders to be pursued. Nevertheless, their highlighting of the universal values promotes the proper operation of societies. They liberated more people from suppression and bounding, awakened the human nature and aroused struggles against hard miserable lives.
