“非暴力”的历程

The History of "Non-violence"

"非暴力"是印度文化中一个极为重要的传统,它最初以"不杀生"为内容存在于印度除顺世派外的几乎所有其他宗教教义中,作为解脱必须遵循的行为原则,是被动的纯精神诉求;甘地将"非暴力"与爱和真理联为一体,运用于现实中发展为主动的社会理性工具和个人修养的风标;当今,"非暴力"可扩展延伸为生态伦理学最根本的法则之一。"非暴力"的这一历程反映了人类道德关怀范围的扩展,也反映出人类对自身的认识与定位的渐趋平和与理性,体现了人们从内心到外界对和平与和谐的不懈探寻与追求。

'Non-violence' is a very important tradition in Indian culture.Initially it means 'ahimsa' and almost exists in all religious doctrine except Lokesu ayatah lokayata in India,as the principles to follow for moksa.It is only a passive spiritual demands.Gandhi conformed the relative concept of Indian and Western philosophers,then integrated 'non-violence' and love and truth into a coherent whole.He also applied it to the real action and developed it into rational tools and the guide of personal culture.Today,'non-violence' can have a broader meaning.It becomes one of the most fundamental rules of ecological ethics.This development reflected the enlargement of the scope human morals concerned and the improvement of human ideological level.It also reflected that the humanity gradually tends to be rational when they tried to identify themselves.It is really a course that human pursued the peace of outside and in unremittingly.
